Anthony David Weiner ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|iː|n|ər}} born September 4, 1964) is an American former politician who served as the U.S. representative for {{ushr|NY|9}} from 1999 until his resignation in 2011. A member of the Democratic Party, he consistently carried the district with at least 60% of the vote. Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after it was revealed he sent sexually suggestive photos of himself to different women, including a minor.

A two-time candidate for Mayor of New York City, Weiner finished second in the Democratic primary in 2005. He ran again in 2013, placing fifth in the Democratic primary.

In 2017, Weiner pled guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor and was sentenced to 21 months in prison.{{cite web |title=Anthony Weiner sentenced to 21 months in sexting case|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/anthony-weiner-sentenced-sexting-case/story?id=50073424|website=ABC News|access-date=September 25, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170925170353/http://abcnews.go.com/US/anthony-weiner-sentenced-sexting-case/story?id=50073424|archive-date=September 25, 2017|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} He was also required to register as a sex offender.{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/09/25/judgement-day-has-arrived-anthony-weiner-sexting-scandal/699157001/|title=Anthony Weiner sentenced to 21 months in sexting case|newspaper=USA Today |publisher=Gannett Company|location=Mclean, Virginia|date=September 25, 2017|access-date=January 3, 2019}} Weiner began serving his federal prison sentence the same year and was released in 2019.

On December 10, 2024, Weiner announced his candidacy for New York City's 2nd City Council district.{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/us-news/anthony-weiner-officially-running-for-ny-city-council/|title=Disgraced ex-lawmaker Anthony Weiner officially files to run for NY City Council years after sexting scandal|website=New York Post|date=10 December 2024|access-date=10 December 2024}}

Early life and education

Weiner was born in Brooklyn in New York City, the middle son of Jewish parents, Mort Weiner, a lawyer, and his wife, Frances (née Finkelstein), a public high school math teacher. The family lived for a time in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn. Weiner attended elementary school at P.S. 39 The Henry Bristow School. His older brother Seth was 39 years old when he was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2000. His younger brother, Jason, is a chef and co-owner of several New York restaurants.

Weiner took the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, an examination used to determine admission to all but one of New York City's specialized high schools, and was admitted to Brooklyn Technical High School, from which he graduated in 1981. He attended the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, and spent his junior year as an exchange student at the College of William & Mary, where he was friends with future comic and political commentator Jon Stewart.{{cite news |first=Jessica|last=Pressler |url=https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2009/05/anthony_weiner_vs_jon_stewart.html|title=Anthony Weiner Has a Bone to Pick With His Old Roommate Jon Stewart|magazine=New York|publisher=New York Media|date=May 14, 2009|access-date=January 3, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118171408/http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2009/05/anthony_weiner_vs_jon_stewart.html|archive-date=January 18, 2018|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} Weiner's interests turned towards politics; he became active in student government and was named most effective student senator.

After he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1985, Weiner joined the staff of then–United States Representative and current Senator Charles Schumer. He worked in Schumer's Washington, D.C. office for three years, then transferred to the district office in Brooklyn in 1988, when Schumer encouraged him to become involved in local politics.

New York City Council

After working for Schumer for six years, Weiner got his first chance at political office in 1991 when the New York City Council was expanded from 35 to 51 seats. Weiner was considered a long-shot because he faced strong competition in the Democratic primary elections from two other candidates who had better local name recognition and funding. Weiner narrowly won the primary, besting Adele Cohen by fewer than 200 votes. Controversy ensued in the last weeks of the campaign after Weiner's campaign anonymously spread leaflets around the district that had alleged ties between Cohen and the so-called "Jackson-Dinkins agenda"; the leaflets referred to the Crown Heights riots earlier in the year, after which white residents had seen Jesse Jackson, who became notorious for his earlier remarks about New York City as "Hymietown", and then-mayor David Dinkins as having been beholden to the predominantly African-American rioters and therefore endangering whites.{{cite news |first=Kevin|last=Sack |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/12/nyregion/campaign-trail-a-primary-eve-dance-the-candidate-dodge.html |title=Campaign Trail; A Primary-Eve Dance: The Candidate Dodge |newspaper=The New York Times|url-access=limited|date=September 12, 1991 |access-date=January 3, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180928040921/https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/12/nyregion/campaign-trail-a-primary-eve-dance-the-candidate-dodge.html?scp=10&sq=adele%20cohen&st=cse|archive-date=September 28, 2018|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/15/opinion/topics-of-the-times-smears-and-fears.html |title=Topics of The Times; Smears and Fears|newspaper=The New York Times|url-access=limited|date=September 15, 1991 |access-date=January 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180928012131/https://www.nytimes.com/1991/09/15/opinion/topics-of-the-times-smears-and-fears.html|archive-date=September 28, 2018|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}

Weiner's win in the November general election was widely considered a formality because he had no opposition in the heavily Democratic district. He was 27 years old when he became the youngest councilman in the city's history. Over the next seven years on the City Council, Weiner initiated programs to address quality of life concerns. He also started a program to put at-risk and troubled teens to work cleaning up graffiti, and he backed development plans that helped revive the historic Sheepshead Bay area.{{cite web |url=http://www.politico.com/arena/bio/rep_anthony_weiner.html|title=Arena profile: Rep.

U.S. House of Representatives

= Elections =

In 1998, Weiner ran for Congress from New York's 9th congressional district, which was the seat held by his mentor, Chuck Schumer, who had run successfully for the U.S. Senate. Weiner won the Democratic primary election, which was tantamount to election in the heavily Democratic district that included parts of southern Brooklyn and south and central Queens.

Weiner received a 100% rating from the NARAL Pro-Choice America in 2003 and a 0% rating from National Right to Life Committee 2006, which indicated a strong pro-choice voting record. He was critical of the 2009 Stupak-Pitts Amendment to the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits the use of taxpayer funds for abortions, calling it "unnecessary and divisive" and saying it would prevent health insurers from offering abortion coverage regardless of whether an individual uses federal funds to purchase an insurance plan.

In April 2008, Weiner created the bi-partisan Congressional Middle Class Caucus. He received an "A" on the Drum Major Institute's 2005 Congressional Scorecard on middle-class issues. In June 2008, Weiner sponsored a bill to increase the number of O-visas available to foreign fashion models, arguing that it would help boost the fashion industry in New York City. He criticized UN diplomats for failing to pay parking tickets in New York City, claiming foreign nations owed $18,000,000 to the city.

During the health care reform debates of 2009, Weiner advocated for a bill called the United States National Health Care Act, which would have expanded Medicare to all Americans, regardless of age. He remarked that while 4% of Medicare funds go to overhead, private insurers put 30% of their customer's money into profits and overhead instead of into health care. In late July 2009, he secured a full House floor vote for single payer health care in exchange for not amending America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 in committee mark-up with a single-payer plan.

When a public health insurance option was being considered as part of America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, Weiner said that it would help reduce costs, and he set up a website to push for the option. He attracted widespread attention when described the Republican Party as "a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry, teaming up with a small group of Democrats to try to protect that industry". In February 2010, he proclaimed to Congress that "every single Republican I have ever met in my entire life is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry."

Weiner was the chief sponsor of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2009, which made the selling of tobacco in violation of any state tax law a federal crime, and effectively ended Internet tobacco smuggling by stopping shipments of cigarettes through the United States Postal Service. He claimed, "This new law will give states and localities a major revenue boost by cracking down on the illegal sale of tobacco", and added that "Every day we delay is another day that New York loses significant amounts of tax revenue and kids have easy access to tobacco products sold over the Internet."

On July 29, 2010, Weiner criticized Republicans for opposing the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which would provide for funds for sick first responders to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. In a speech on the floor of the House, he accused Republicans of hiding behind procedural questions as an excuse to vote against the bill.

In response to pressure from Weiner, YouTube removed some of Anwar al-Awlaki's inflammatory videos from its website in November 2010. Weiner voted against the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. As a prominent Democratic opponent of the tax cut package passed by Congress, Weiner said Republicans had gotten the better of President Barack Obama in the negotiations to reach an agreement on the $858 billion deal and said the Republicans turned out to be "better poker players" than Obama.

In 2002, Weiner voiced strong criticism of the removal of the World Trade Center debris without investigating it for determining the causes of the collapses of Tower 1, 2 and 7.From time 6:36 in https://www.c-span.org/video/?168982-1/world-trade-center-collapse {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190104072806/https://www.c-span.org/video/?168982-1%2Fworld-trade-center-collapse |date=January 4, 2019 }}

= Foreign policy =

In 2002, Weiner voted to give President George W. Bush the authority to use military force against Iraq. In May 2006, Weiner attempted to bar the Palestinian delegation from entering the United Nations. He added that the delegation "should start packing their little Palestinian terrorist bags", and went on to claim that Human Rights Watch, The New York Times, and Amnesty International are all biased against Israel.

On July 29, 2007, Weiner and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) objected to a $20-billion arms deal that the Bush administration negotiated with Saudi Arabia because they didn't want to provide "sophisticated weapons to a country that they believe has not done enough to stop terrorism", noting that 15 of the 19 hijackers in the September 11 attacks were Saudis. Weiner made the announcement outside of the Saudi Arabian consulate in Washington, D.C., stating, "We need to send a crystal clear message to the Saudi Arabian government that their tacit approval of terrorism can't go unpunished." The two intended to use a provision of the Arms Export Control Act to review the deal and pass a Joint Resolution of Disapproval.

Weiner and several other members of Congress later criticized the Obama administration's proposal to sell over $60 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia. He said: "Saudi Arabia is not deserving of our aid, and by arming them with advanced American weaponry we are sending the wrong message", and described Saudi Arabia as having a "history of financing terrorism" and teaching "hatred of Christians and Jews" to its schoolchildren.

= Management style =

In July 2008, The New York Times characterized Weiner as one of the most intense and demanding of bosses. The newspaper described him as a person who often worked long hours with his staff and required them to be in constant contact via BlackBerry. He frequently yelled at them and occasionally threw office furniture in anger. As a result of Weiner's actions, the Times reported that he had one of the highest staff turnover rates of any member of Congress; this included the departure of three chiefs of staff within an 18-month period. Weiner admitted he pushed his aides hard but said that his speaking at a high decibel level was part of his background and style, not necessarily shouting. Though some former employees were critical of his supervisory practices, others praised him for his intense involvement in constituent concerns and readiness to fight for New York City.

= Traffic tickets =

A 2010 license plate check by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call showed that Weiner's vehicles were among several owned by members of Congress that had unpaid tickets. Weiner's past due fines, which spanned three years and totaled more than $2,000, were among the highest uncovered by Roll Call and were paid in full shortly after publication of the article. On June 13, 2011, the New York Daily News reported that one of Weiner's vehicles, though it had been issued valid plates, was displaying expired plates that had been issued to another one of his vehicles.

Sexting scandals, prosecution, and guilty plea

{{Main|Anthony Weiner sexting scandals}}

On May 27, 2011, Weiner used his public Twitter account to send a link to a woman who was following him on the social media platform. The link contained a sexually explicit photograph of himself. After several days of denying that he had posted the image, Weiner held a press conference at which he admitted he had "exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years" and apologized for his earlier denials. After an explicit photo was leaked through the Twitter account of a listener of The Opie & Anthony Show, Weiner announced on June 16, 2011, that he would resign from Congress, and he formally did so on June 21. A special election was held on September 13, 2011, to replace him; Republican businessman Bob Turner defeated Democrat David Weprin to fill Weiner's seat.{{Cite news |title=Republican Wins House Race in New York, Seen as Obama Rebuke |date=September 14, 2011|website=Fox News|publisher=News Corp. |location=New York City |url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republican-wins-house-race-in-new-york-seen-as-obama-rebuke/ |access-date=September 21, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110919183322/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/14/republican-wins-house-race-in-new-york-seen-as-obama-rebuke/#ixzz1Xtl4cbZK |archive-date=September 19, 2011|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}

On August 28, 2016, the New York Post reported that Weiner had sexted another woman, including sending a picture while he was lying in bed with his young son.{{Cite news |first1=Rebecca|last1=Rosenberg|first2=Bruce|last2=Goldberg|title=Anthony Weiner sexted busty brunette while his son was in bed with him|url=https://nypost.com/2016/08/28/anthony-weiner-sexted-busty-brunette-while-his-son-was-in-bed-with-him|newspaper=New York Post|publisher=News Corp (2013–present) |location=New York City |date=August 28, 2016 |access-date=August 28, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160829104541/http://nypost.com/2016/08/28/anthony-weiner-sexted-busty-brunette-while-his-son-was-in-bed-with-him/|archive-date=August 29, 2016|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} The New York Times reported the next day that Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin intended to separate.

New York mayoral elections

Weiner sought the Democratic nomination to run for New York City mayor in 2005, vying against three other candidates. He had a three-part pitch to voters that included criticizing sitting Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his top-down style of management and promising a more democratic approach; against "passivity in City Hall" and for getting more federal money for the city; and a series of ideas on how to get the city to work better.{{Cite web | url=https://observer.com/2005/09/ferrer-is-first-weiner-snares-piece-of-ballot/ | title=Ferrer is First, Weiner Snares Piece of Ballot| website=The New York Observer| date=September 19, 2005}} He presented a book of 50 "Real Solutions" and among his policy proposals were fixes for the health care and educational systems. One idea already in play was a neighborhood scrubbing-up program he dubbed "Weiner's Cleaners".

Weiner started out last in many polls, but gained ground in the final weeks of the campaign, coming in second. Initial election returns had Fernando Ferrer with 39.95% of the vote, just shy of the 40% required to avoid a runoff against Weiner, who had 28.82%, but Weiner conceded, citing the need for party unity and denying rumors that various high-ranking New York Democrats, such as Senator Chuck Schumer and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, had urged him to concede. Absentee ballots put Ferrer over the 40% mark in the official primary election returns.{{cite news |first=Ben|last=Smith|url=https://observer.com/2005/09/ferrer-is-first-weiner-snares-piece-of-ballot/|title=Ferrer Is First, Weiner Snares Piece of Ballot|newspaper=The New York Observer|publisher=Observer Media|location=New York City|date=September 19, 2005|access-date=January 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190104073007/https://observer.com/2005/09/ferrer-is-first-weiner-snares-piece-of-ballot/|archive-date=January 4, 2019|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}

Weiner appeared to be a candidate for mayor again in 2009. However, in May 2009, after the New York City Council voted to extend term limits for Mayor Bloomberg, Weiner announced his decision not to run against the popular incumbent. By July 2010, Weiner had raised $3.9 million for a potential campaign in the 2013 mayoral election, and was considered a leading contender in early polls. According to the New York City Campaign Finance Board website, as of the March 2013 filing deadline Weiner had raised over $5.1 million, the second most among registered mayoral candidates, behind only Christine Quinn.

After his resignation from Congress, Weiner used the alias "Carlos Danger" to continue to send explicit photographs. Following the second set of sexting allegations, he acknowledged on July 23, 2013, that he had sent messages to at least three women in 2012.

Post-congressional private sector work

In July 2011 (less than a month after he left Congress), Weiner created the consulting firm Woolf-Weiner Associates. He advised over a dozen companies that included electronic medical records providers and biofuel firms. He worked with Covington & Burling, an international law firm. According to 2012 public disclosures, his work helped increase his combined family income to $496,000. Weiner argued that despite contacting members of Congress on behalf of his clients, his work did not meet the legal definition of lobbying.Barbaro, Michael. {{Cite news|title=Jobless After Scandal, Weiner Triumphs in Corporate World |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/30/nyregion/jobless-after-scandal-weiner-triumphs-in-corporate-world.html |newspaper=The New York Times|date=April 29, 2013|access-date=August 20, 2015|url-access=limited|issn=0362-4331|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906062132/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/30/nyregion/jobless-after-scandal-weiner-triumphs-in-corporate-world.html|archive-date=September 6, 2015|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} This was based on the so-called "Daschle Loophole" in the Lobbying Disclosure Act, which requires only those who spend more than 20% of their time lobbying to register as lobbyists.{{cite web|title=Shadow Lobbyists and the Revolving Door, or what Anthony Weiner and Newt Gingrich Have in Common – The Monkey Cage|date=May 6, 2013 |url=http://themonkeycage.org/2013/05/shadow-lobbyists-and-the-revolving-door-or-what-anthony-weiner-and-newt-gingrich-have-in-common|access-date=August 20, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150820040138/http://themonkeycage.org/2013/05/shadow-lobbyists-and-the-revolving-door-or-what-anthony-weiner-and-newt-gingrich-have-in-common|archive-date=August 20, 2015|url-status=live}}
