Stiff competition: Anthony Weiner officially files to run for NY City Council years after sexting scandal
Briefly

Anthony Weiner has formally filed to run for New York City Council, seeking to reclaim a political position after a decade of controversies and legal troubles.
Describing his return as a 'true exploratory committee,' Weiner is already participating in candidate forums, signaling his serious intent for the Council District 2 seat.
Weiner's political ambitions come as the current seat-holder, Carlina Rivera, is term-limited, opening the door for new candidates, including Weiner who has faced multiple scandals.
His past includes a criminal conviction for sexting a minor, and his previous attempts to regain public office have been marred by scandals.
