Anthony Weiner's 2025 candidacy was his first step back into electoral politics in years, and he pleaded with voters to give him another chance.

Former Democratic representative and registered sex offender Anthony Weiner, who served 18 months in prison for sending obscene material to a minor, lost the Democratic primary race for NYC's 2nd City Council district to NY State Assemblyman Harvey Epstein.

New York City's municipal races are bringing disgraced politicians back into the limelight, with multiple candidates seeking a political comeback and raising the question of whether voters will give them a second -- or third -- chance.
