From 1989 to 1993, he served as legislative director to Senator Bill Bradley, overseeing the formulation and development of all aspects of congressional policymaking. During 1982-1989, he was Senator Bradley's chief staff person for federal social and budget policy, with a particular focus on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and welfare programs under the jurisdiction of the Senate Finance Committee.

Between 1980 and 1982, Apfel was committee staff for human resource programs for the U.S. Senate Budget Committee. From 1978 to 1980, he held a Presidential Management Internship at the U.S. Department of Labor. He was a college administrator from 1973 to 1976 at Newbury College in Massachusetts.
