Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner touted his campaign for a New York City Council seat by reporting his most recent fundraising data.

Weiner resigned from Congress in 2013 over a sexting scandal with a 15-year-old, which would eventually lead to his conviction, a 21-month prison sentence, and registering as a sex offender. He has been a free man since 2019 and his convict status would not prevent him from any position in government.
