NYC Mayor 2025: Brooklyn State Senator Zellnor Myrie Joins Dem Primary vs. Adams

"A Brooklyn state senator who has become an increasingly vocal critic of New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Wednesday he's setting up an exploratory committee to consider challenging Adams in next year's Democratic primary," reported NPR/WNYC's Gothamist.

"Zellnor Myrie (D-Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens) becomes the second Democrat to formally signal plans to take on the incumbent mayor — whose approval ratings hit a record low last year as he grapples with the ongoing migrant crisis and four law enforcement investigations into his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising — after former city Comptroller Scott Stringer opened an exploratory committee in January."
