Charlie Rangel on Tuesday night, as he clung to a lead of just over 1,000 votes against his closest rival, Assemblyman Keith Wright."Tonight the 13th congressional district made history," said Espaillat, who stands to become the first Dominican-born member of Congress, at a raucous victory party in Inwood.
