Ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner Looks To Make Political Comeback In New York City

Jailed For Sexting A Child, Looks To Make Political Comeback In New York City
Former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner has filed to run for a seat on the New York City Council, launching a potential political comeback after his once-promising career was destroyed by sexting scandals and a criminal conviction for having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl.
New York City campaign finance records list Weiner, a Democrat, as a candidate for a City Council seat in lower Manhattan.
In an interview, Weiner said he is “still exploring” whether to campaign for the office but said he opened a campaign committee late last week so he could participate in a forum held by the Downtown Independent Democrats this week.
