NEW YORK CITY—Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has filed to run for a seat on the New York City Council next year, to make a potential political comeback following a series of scandals over sexting and a criminal conviction for obscene online contact with a minor.
New York City Campaign Finance Board records indicate that Weiner has registered a campaign committee called “Weiner 25” and served notice of plans to run for a seat representing City Council District 2, although, as of this writing, the records do not show any public or private donations.
