With the congressional election happening on June 24th, some politicians, like Charlie Rangel, are pulling out all the stops in hopes of getting elected. Whether you are seeking to win for the first time or you're trying to get re-elected, an outstanding campaign is key. There are many tactics a congressman may employ to reach out to younger voters, and in this instance the 84 year old Harlem congressman released a biographical rap.
Just ahead of tomorrow's primary battle, Charlie Rangel is hoping to sway hip-hop enthusiasts in his district to re-elect him to congress. The Democrat has represented New York's 13th congressional district since 2013, previously holding the 15th congressional district form 1993 to 2013. Only time will tell if the longtime politician will keep his seat.
