Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 due to sexting scandals, is contemplating a return to politics by exploring a run for a seat on the New York City Council. Weiner, 60, has filed to run for a council seat in Lower Manhattan, where he previously served in the 1990s representing Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.
Weiner has set up a campaign committee named Weiner 25 and is currently in the process of deciding whether to officially campaign for the office. He mentioned that he opened the committee to participate in a forum held by the Downtown Independent Democrats.
