Elected U.S. Representative

Adriano Espaillat
Democratic

The 13th district is located entirely in New York City and includes Upper Manhattan and a small portion of the western Bronx. The incumbent was Democrat Charles Rangel, who had represented the district since 2013, and previously represented the 15th district from 1993 to 2013, the 16th district from 1983 to 1993, the 19th district from 1973 to 1983 and the 18th district from 1971 to 1973. He was re-elected in 2014 with 87% of the vote and the district has a PVI of D+42.

Democratic primary[edit]

Rangel said during the 2014 election and confirmed after his victory that he would not run for a 24th term in 2016.[38][39]

Rangel had faced strong primary challenges in previous elections and had said that he will be "involved" in picking his successor. Former state assemblyman, former city councilman and candidate for the seat in 1996 and 2010 Adam Clayton Powell IV, the son of former U.S. Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr., whom Rangel unseated in the primary in 1970, ran for the seat.[40] State Assemblyman Keith L. T. Wright also ran for the seat.[41]
