Former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who recently pleaded guilty in an underage sexting case, got his start in politics working as an intern for Senate Minority Charles Schumer when Schumer was a congressional representative in 1985. He used his relationship with Schumer to catapult his own political career. Salon reported in 1988 that Weiner was considering moving to Florida to capitalize on several political vacancies in the state, but Schumer convinced Weiner to join his staff as district director. In 1991, New York City Council expanded their seats from 35 to 51, paving the way for Weiner to run for a seat within Schumer’s district. Though initially an underdog, Weiner anonymously pushed out a race baiting flier smearing his opponent in the race, Adele Cohen, only to later admit he was behind it. Weiner won the race at 27-years-old, the youngest New York City Council member in the city’s history.
