}}Adam Clayton Powell IV (born Adam Clayton Powell Diago[1] in 1962) is an American politician from the state of New York. He was a member of the New York State Assembly from 2001 to 2010. From 1992–1997, he served as New York City Council Member representing East Harlem and parts of the Upper West Side and the South Bronx. Beginning in 2001, Powell represented the 68th Assembly District, which includes parts of Harlem and East Harlem.[2] He was defeated by Charles Rangel in the 2010 Democratic Primary for the seat of the 15th Congressional District.[3]Early yearsPowell was born to civil rights leader and former congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and his third wife Yvette Diago in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[1] He was named Adam Clayton Powell Diago, as is the Spanish naming custom of using the mother's surname as part of his official name.[1] Powell's maternal grandfather Gonzalo Diago was a mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico and served as such from 1941 to 1945.[4] When his parents separated, Powell's mother was granted custody, and he was raised and educated in Puerto Rico. In 1980, Powell moved to the mainland United States to study at Howard University in Washington, D.C.. He changed his surname by dropping his mother's surname "Diago". He then continued to use the name Adam Clayton Powell IV. This has caused confusion as his half-nephew, 8 years younger than he, was also named Adam Clayton Powell IV. He later earned a law degree from Fordham University in New York.[5] Political careerPowell ran successfully for the New York City Council in 1991.[6] In 1994, Powell challenged Representative Charles B. Rangel for his seat in the United States House of Representatives, but lost.[2] In 1997, he ran for Manhattan borough president, but lost to C. Virginia Fields.[7] Powell worked for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).{{when|date=July 2014}} In 2001, he participated and was arrested in the Vieques protests, which demanded the departure of the U.S. Navy from that island. When Rangel retired in 2016, Powell ran again for the House seat. He lost to state Senator Adriano Espaillat.[8] Family lifePowell married Andrea Dial, a former Ebony fashion fair model. They had a son, Adam Clayton Powell V, before divorcing in the mid-1990s.[5] ControversiesFundraisingWhen Powell ran for Congress in 1994, he raised $64,000, 10% of which came from residents of his state,name="villagevoice2000">{{cite web|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2000-08-22/news/the-prodigal-son-returns |title=The Prodigal Son Returns|publisher=The Village voice|date=August 22, 2000|accessdate=July 21, 2016}}[9] while the remainder were donated by contributors from Miami and New Jersey, including $5000 from Free Cuba PAC, Inc.,[10][11] headed by leading Cuban-exile community figure Jorge Mas Canosa who made a $1000 personal donation to Powell.[12] Campaign fundsPowell spent $1,200 of his campaign funds traveling to Ireland.[13][14] Powell said he accompanied several lawmakers on the Ireland trip, which was sponsored by the New York American-Irish Legislators Society as a means to raise awareness of the issues that affect the Irish community.[13][14] Vehicular chargesIn 2008, Powell was arrested and charged for allegedly driving while intoxicated (DWI) on the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City.[15][16][17] He was acquitted of driving while intoxicated and found guilty of the lesser charge of driving while impaired. This charge is considered a traffic violation rather than a criminal conviction. One juror commented, "the whole thing is we didn't think he was drunk."[18] Congressional race, 2010{{See also|United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2010}}Powell lost to Charles Rangel in the 2010 primary for the 15th district.[19] See also{{Portal|Puerto Rico}}References1. ^1 2 [https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C03E1D71739F937A25757C0A9669D8B63 CITY ROOM; If Your Name Is Powell, Take a Number.] Andy Newman.
