Despite ethics investigations and rumblings that he’ll retire, Charles Rangel said he will run for re-election in November.
“I’m running,” Rangel told The Post.
The 19-term Harlem Democrat, who turns 80 in June, faces a jam-packed field of candidates.
Sensing his political weaknesses, four Democrats are seeking to challenge Rangel in a primary. A Republican is also vying for the seat.
Rangel resigned his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee in March following a report by the Ethics Committee admonishing him for taking corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean, which was first revealed by The Post.
The House panel is also looking at Rangel’s failure to pay taxes on his Dominican Republic villa, his use of congressional stationery to raise money for a center named after himself at City College and for the improper storage of his Mercedes in a House parking garage.
