(CNN) -- Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as governor of New York in the wake of a prostitution scandal, is looking at a return -- this time as comptroller of New York City.
He said he hoped that voters would be able to see beyond his past.
"I accepted responsibly for what I did," Spitzer told CNN late Sunday night. "I spent five years of working, doing useful things, and I hope the public will offer me an opportunity."
Spitzer, a Democrat, resigned in 2008 after revelations about his relationship with a prostitute. Since stepping down, he has worked as a commentator for various news outlets, including CNN.
In running for comptroller, Spitzer said he's looking for forgiveness and a second chance.

If shelly silver, the prince of curruption under king cuomo can get away with paying off sexual harrassment victims for his friends with ny residence tax payer money ..well?
Those two make Boss Tweed and Tamanny Hall look like models of good government
Spitzer said that his inspiration to come back is Sanford and Weiner....all three should leave and go to Argentina.
Weiner Spitzer for NY... Vote for Humas favorite, Weiner and a Spitzer.
At least Boss Tweed helped get the Brookly Bridge Built. I know, not so good for Brooklyn in the long run.
Apparently, Spitzer is having trouble getting on the ballot.
