Anthony David Weiner is a former American politician who represented New York’s 9th congressional district from 1999 until his resignation in 2011.

He was a Democrat who consistently won the district with at least 60% of the vote. Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after it was discovered that he had emailed sexually provocative images of himself to various women.

Wiener ran for mayor of New York City twice and finished second in the Democratic primary in 2005. In 2013, he ran again, finishing fifth in the Democratic primary.

Is Scott Weiner related to Anthony Weiner?

Supervisor Scott Wiener is not related to the lawmaker with the crotch shot. You’ve probably noticed that he spells his name differently (and stands a foot taller). When asked if the floodgates have been let open to make juvenile fun of his surname, he responds instantly: “They sure have!”

Weiner was born in Brooklyn, New York, the middle son of Jewish parents Mort Weiner, a lawyer, and Frances Finkelstein, a public high school maths teacher.  For a time, the family lived in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood.

Weiner went to P.S. 39 The Henry Bristow education for elementary education. Seth, his older brother, was 39 when he was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2000. Jason, his younger brother, is a chef and the co-owner of several New York restaurants.

Scott Wiener, on the other hand, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to a Jewish family, and grew up in southern New Jersey as the son of modest business entrepreneurs.

He graduated from Washington Township High School, attended Duke University, won a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Santiago, Chile, and received his J.D. from Harvard Law School. On the New Jersey Supreme Court, he clerked for Justice Alan B. Handler.
