Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer paid tribute to the late Congressmember Charles Rangel, who passed away at 94. Rangel served over 40 years in Congress before retiring in 2016. Schumer emphasized Rangel's dedication to fighting for his constituents in Harlem and celebrated him as a great friend and leader. Both politicians shared roots in Brooklyn and had a significant partnership throughout their political careers, with Schumer serving nine terms in the House before his election to the Senate in 1998.
"Charlie Rangel was a great man, a great friend, and someone who never stopped fighting for his constituents in Harlem and for the best of America."
"Schumer served nine terms in the House of Representatives, starting in 1981, alongside Rangel, exemplifying a longstanding partnership in New York political corridors."
