Walter Mondale announcing that Charles Rangel will be his national vice-chairman for the campaign. Rangel standing next to Mondale near podium with other supporters. I m pleased to announce that my dear and old friend, Charlie Rangel, has agreed to serve as national vice-chair of my campaign. I don t have to tell you about the Congressman. He is now one of the highest ranking members of what is perhaps the most powerful committee of any Congress on Earth, the Ways and Means Committee. But more than that, in his 7 bids for re-election, I ve checked, he has won by an average of 95%. And despite those cliffhangers, he s decided to support me and I hope a little bit of it rubs off on me.
