Zellnor Myrie (born 1986) is an American politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he has served in the New York State Senate since 2019, representing the 20th state senate district, which includes parts of Brooklyn.

Early life and education

Myrie was born in Brooklyn, New York City to Costa Rican-born immigrant parents and raised in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood.[1] He graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and attended Fordham University, earning his undergraduate and Master's degrees in urban studies.[2][3] After graduate school, he earned his Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School where he served as student government president, prison law instructor, and pro bono scholar.[4][5]

Early career

Before law school, Myrie worked for the New York City Council as a legislative director where he helped draft the Tenant Bill of Rights.[6] After law school, he joined Davis Polk & Wardwell where he worked pro bono to fight police brutality, help special education students get services owed them by the Department of Education[which?], aid victims of domestic violence, and assist asylum seekers.[7]

Political career

In the 2018 elections, Myrie ran for New York State Senate in the 20th district. He challenged Jesse Hamilton, a former member of the Independent Democratic Conference, in the Democratic Party primary election.[8] Myrie defeated Hamilton in the September primary, earning 54% of the vote.[9][10] Hamilton remained on the ballot in the November general election under the Independence and Women's Equality ballot lines, where Myrie defeated him again, earning over 92% of the vote.[11]

Myrie ran for re-election in 2020 where he had no opponent in the primary and defeated his opponent in the general election with 97% of the vote.[12]

Legislative career

Myrie is chairperson of the Elections Committee in the New York State Senate[13] where he has led on changes to New York's election law including Early Voting,[14] improved administration of elections,[15] and the passage of the nation's strongest state-level voting rights protection law, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York.[16]

Senator Myrie authored the Community Violence Intervention Act[17] which declared gun violence a public health crisis and which provides millions of dollars to local hospital- and community-based violence intervention programs.[18] He also authored a first-in-the-nation law[19] to hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable for gun violence, a law that was recently upheld in federal court after being challenged by the gun industry.[20]

Myrie was a lead sponsor of the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019,[21][22]a sweeping change to New York's rent laws.[23]He also sponsored legislation to ban most evictions during New York's COVID-19 state of emergency.[24]

On May 30, 2020, Myrie was pepper-sprayed and handcuffed while taking part in protests following the murder of George Floyd.[25][26] Shortly thereafter, the state legislature passed a host of police reforms.[27]
