Anthony Weiner's candidacy for City Council marks a significant return to public life after his tumultuous tenure in Congress, shaped by personal scandals and legal troubles.
Weiner’s previous electoral campaigns were marred by scandals, including a notable 2013 mayoral bid where he initially led polls before public backlash derailed his campaign.
Serving 12 years in Congress, Weiner's political career was punctuated by his 2017 prison sentence for sending explicit messages to an underage girl, dramatically altering his public persona.
Despite his scandals, Weiner's return to politics highlights an ongoing interest in public service, as he aims to fill the seat of term-limited councilmember Carlina Rivera.
