Cynthia Nixon Sex & The City Star Cynthia Nixon has officially announced today she is mounting a Democratic primary challenge against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Announcing her bid on Monday, Nixon said that she presents a “strong progressive alternative” to Cuomo, who she called a “centrist and Albany insider.” “Cuomo’s time in office has been defined by a string of indictments for corruption, his failure to fix the New York City subway, and his support for a backroom deal which handed Republicans control of the state Senate, resulting in the failure of numerous pieces of progressive legislation,” Nixon said in a statement.

She will walk down 14th street in floppy clothes, shop in our stores and I watch her looking sad as she is looking at all the homeless scattered about. As a photographer who has photo...
