“Charles B. Rangel, the former dean of New York’s congressional delegation, who became the first [b]lack chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, only to relinquish that position when he was censured for an ethics violation, died on Monday in Manhattan. He was 94. … Mr. Rangel retired in 2016 after winning a 23rd term despite the ethics allegation — making him the ninth-longest continuously serving member of the House in American history.” (05/26/25)
