New York's 15th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives located in New York City. It is composed of Upper Manhattan, Rikers Island and a largely non-residential section of northwestern Queens on the shore of the East River mostly occupied by the Consolidated Edison power plant. The district includes the neighborhoods of Harlem, Inwood, Marble Hill, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, Morningside Heights and portions of the Upper West Side. The Apollo Theater, Columbia University, and Grant's Tomb are located within this district. It is the smallest congressional district by area in the United States, comprising just 10.29 square miles (26.65 square kilometers) of land.[1]

The district is currently represented by Democrat Charles B. Rangel. Scoring a Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+43 in 2004, the 15th Congressional District was tied with neighboring 16th Congressional District (most of the Bronx) in being the two most Democratic districts in the nation.[2] John Kerry won 90% of the vote in the 15th Congressional District that year.
