Background:
This seat is currently represented by Adriano Espaillat, who challenged incumbent Congressman Charlie Rangel in the Democratic primary on June 26th. (CD 13, the old 15th). The Congressional race went into overtime, but Rangel was recently declared the winner. Espaillat is running again for his current State Senate, as he turned in enough signatures by the July 12th deadline.
