Was "raised in politics" by his late father, Sanford L. "Sandy" Weiner,
one of the most successful political consultants in U.S. history. Has
boyhood memories such as jogging around the block with Gene McCarthy
during his Peace for President campaigns; having to be followed to
elementary school by secret service because his family received so many
death threats while his father was getting the first African-American
(Wilson Riles) elected to head the school systems in California; and
sealing envelopes at home with Dianne Feinstein for mailers during her
first campaign.
