New York sources stated that best known for her role as Miranda in the hit TV series "Sex and the City", actress and activist Cynthia Nixon has currently officially entered the race for the governor of New York, challenging incumbent Andrew M. Cuomo who is seeking his third term. Meanwhile the media reported that the 51 year old tweeted that "She loves New York, and today she is announcing her candidacy for governor".
She added "She have never lived anywhere else. But something has to change and we want our government to work again, on health care, ending mass incarceration, fixing our broken subway. We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us and it can't just be business as usual anymore."
Accordingly Nixon is forming a team of alumni of the New York political
sphere, including Rebecca Katz and Bill Hyers who worked on New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio's first campaign to help her ahead of the primary.
Moreover she is the mother of three, who is married to activist Christine
Marinoni, has also been vocal about education issues, and she served on de
Blasio's advisory board for the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City.
