There's been lots of ribbing about Anthony Weiner's alias Carlos Danger, but the New York City mayoral candidate isn't joking in his new Spanish-language ad.

In the ad, Weiner vows to cut taxes for the middle class, restore discipline in the city's schools and make housing more accessible, according to an English translation.

The ad, titled "El Futuro," focuses on what Weiner will do in the future and how this is not a campaign "about my past" -- a vague reference to the sexting escapades that forced him to resign from Congress. The revelation that he continued to send salacious messages to women online as late as last year has caused him to drop in the polls for the Democratic nomination.

Rev. Erick Salgado, another candidate for mayor, demanded that Weiner apologize for using the handle "Carlos Danger" to send lewd messages to women online. "For Weiner to hide under a Spanish name to do his bad behavior is very insulting to the Spanish community," Salgado said in July.

Weiner explained in an interview with Univision earlier this month that he had chosen Carlos Danger because it was "a joke in my personal life between me and one person" -- which is the most he's said about his nom de plume.
