PNP Mourns the Passing of Congressman Charles Rangel, A True Friend of Jamaica
Kingston, Jamaica. May 26, 2025: The People’s National Party (PNP) extends its deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of the late Congressman Charles (Charlie) Rangel on his passing at 94 years old. We honour his remarkable 46-years of service to the people of New York and the United States, which were distinguished by his astute statesmanship and dedication as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Progressive Black Caucus.
As a true friend of Jamaica, Congressman Rangel’s unwavering support and advocacy were invaluable, especially during the 1970s. His commitment to our nation’s progress and well-being was evident in his work as our liaison in Congress, consistently prioritizing Jamaica’s interests.
We stand in solidarity with his family during this difficult time, offering our heartfelt support and appreciation for his invaluable service. As he often emphasized, “A great people can be strong without being cruel,” and his legacy embodies this spirit of strength and compassion.
May his memory be a blessing to his loved ones and the communities he served.
