Best known for her role on Sex and the City as Miranda Hobbes, actress Cynthia Nixon is officially running for New York Governor against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in this year’s Democratic primary.

"I love New York, and today I'm announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us: http://bit.ly/gocynthia " Cynthia announced on Twitter. 

Nixon became involved in New York City politics back in 2014 when Mayor Bill de Blasio placed her on the advisory board for the Mayor’s Fund To Advance New York City. Nixon, a 51-year-old Manhattan mother of three, is a longtime advocate for fairness in public school funding. Nixon won't be the only celebrity candidate on the New York ballot. Former "Law and Order: SVU" actress Diane Neal is running for Congress as an independent in a Hudson Valley district.
