Gang of Four (Harlem)

The four members were:

• David Dinkins, later Deputy Mayor and Mayor of New York City;
• Basil Paterson, a onetime New York State Senator, Deputy Mayor of New York City, and New York State Secretary of State;
• Charles Rangel, a state representative and eventually a senior Democratic Congressman;

and Percy Sutton, eventually Manhattan Borough President.

The son of Basil Paterson, David Paterson, became Governor of New York in 2008 following the resignation of Eliot Spitzer.
