Anthony Weiner Files for NYC Council Seat, Weighs Political Comeback

The former congressman, whose career was derailed by sexting scandals and a criminal conviction, has registered an exploratory committee for a Lower Manhattan race.

Anthony Weiner, 60, has filed paperwork to run for New York City Council's District 2 seat but says he is still deciding whether to formally campaign.
Weiner's campaign committee, 'Weiner 25,' was created to meet requirements for participating in a candidate forum hosted by a local Democratic club.
The former congressman resigned in 2011 after a sexting scandal and later served 18 months in prison for sending explicit material to a minor.
Weiner faces skepticism from critics and stiff competition from established candidates, including Assemblymember Harvey Epstein and community leaders Andrea Gordillo and Sarah Batchu.
He has emphasized his interest in public service on his radio show, while acknowledging the significant personal and political challenges of a potential comeback.
