Actress Cynthia Nixon officially announces that she'll be challenging Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the democratic primary for the Governorship this year.
ALBANY — Actress Cynthia Nixon on Monday made it official — she is challenging Gov. Cuomo in this year’s Democratic primary.
“I love New York, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for governor,” Nixon said on Twitter. The message was accompanied by a more-than-two-minute video.
“Something has to change,” the “Sex and the City” star says in the slickly produced spot. “We want our government to work again on health care, ending mass incarceration, fixing our broken subway.”
And while she never mentioned Cuomo by name in the video, she took a shot at the two-term Democratic governor by saying, “We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us.”
