Biography

Adriano de Jesús Espaillat Rodríguez (born September 27, 1954) is an American politician who has served as the U.S. representative for New York's 13th congressional district since 2017. He is the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, as well as the first Dominican-American and first formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in Congress. Previously, he served in the New York State Senate from 2011 to 2016 and in the New York State Assembly from 1997 to 2010; he is the first Dominican-born American elected to a state house in the United States. He is a member of the Democratic Party. While a member of the New York State Senate, Espaillat was a ranking member of the Housing, Construction, and Community Development Committee, and chaired the Senate Latino Caucus. He represented the neighborhoods of Washington Heights, Morris Heights, Marble Hill, Inwood, Kingsbridge, and Fort George. He continues to broadly represent these neighborhoods in Congress, as well as Harlem, East Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Morningside Heights, Fordham, and part of the Upper West Side. Espaillat was first elected to Congress in 2016, after incumbent representative Charles Rangel announced his retirement from Congress. He had previously run for the seat in 2012 and 2014, challenging Rangel in the Democratic primaries. In 2026, Espaillat lost re-nomination in the Democratic primary to democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier.
