Story
Anthony Weiner, Post-Sexting Scandal, Eyes NYC City Council Seat
Dec 10, 2024, 09:51 PM
Anthony Weiner, a former New York congressman who served time in prison for sexting a minor, has filed paperwork to run for a New York City Council seat. Weiner, once a rising star in the Democratic Party, was married to Huma Abedin, a close aide to Hillary Clinton, with Bill Clinton officiating their wedding. He has not fully committed to the race but has taken steps to be considered at a club endorsement meeting. His political comeback follows his resignation from Congress in 2011 due to a sexting scandal and a failed mayoral campaign in 2013. The decision to run comes amidst a political landscape where standards for public office have shifted, raising questions about the relevance of past indiscretions.
