With the June 24 Democratic primary fast approaching, Brooklyn state Sen. Zellnor Myrie sat down with NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his decision to run for mayor. The episode marks the fifth installment of the "You Decide" mayoral candidate interview series.

Myrie discussed proposals including increasing affordable housing by building one million homes, boosting police headcounts and ensuring accountability, addressing affordability issues, and improving public healthcare. He criticized the record of other leaders, including Andrew Cuomo, while highlighting his own achievements and experiences. The discussion also touched on mental health, public safety and the accomplishments of the 2018 incoming class of officials, which Myrie was part of.
