New York's 9th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City. It includes parts of southern Brooklyn and south central Queens. In Queens, the 9th includes the neighborhoods of Maspeth, Fresh Meadows, Glendale, Howard Beach, Kew Gardens, Kew Gardens Hills, Middle Village, Forest Hills, Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Rego Park, Rockaway Beach, and Woodhaven. Its Brooklyn section includes Flatlands, Gerritsen Beach, Marine Park, Midwood, Mill Basin and Sheepshead Bay. It had been represented by Democrat Anthony D. Weiner from 1999 until he resigned on June 21, 2011. It will continue to be vacant until a special election is held.

The district, like almost all districts encompassing New York City, is Democratic, although significantly less so than the districts surrounding it. In order to accommodate surrounding districts with majority black or Hispanic populations (the 6th, 10th, 11th and 12th), it has been drawn to consist primarily of middle-class white neighborhoods (the district as a whole is 71% non-Hispanic white, 14.5% Asian, 13.6% Hispanic and 4% African-American). The district includes large Jewish, Italian, and Irish populations.

Anthony Weiner's second half of the Q&A with the media after confessing to sending lewd photos and lying to cover it up.

I, like many others, reluctantly supported Barack Obama for President when candidate Hillary Clinton asked me to in 2008. However after 4 years of this President it has become clear that he has no idea what he is doing and has lost any crediblity to lead. As a staunch Democrat I feel it is time for a drastic change and the person to do that is none other than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton! Join me in a grassroots effort to draft Hillary Clinton to challenge Brack Obama for the Democratic nomination!

After blaming everyone else, being smug and snappy with the media, denying it over and over and refusing to answer the real questions, Mr. Weiner was forced to come clean today. The threat of additional photos being released prompted the Congressman to show off his honesty bone for a change! Oddly, he doesn't seem as arrogant here as he normally does with the press!

Anthony Weiner finally does the right thing and resigns, even though he appears to be looking ahead to a re-entry into politics.
