Today, actress Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City fame announced she's running for governor of New York.
She posted the video below on social media.
She captioned the video with:
 I grew up in a one-bedroom fifth floor walk-up, just me and my mom. I’ve spent my whole life in New York -- this is where I met my wife, where I’m raising my kids, where I’ve fought for 17 years for better schools, better health care, and LGBTQ equality. I love New Yorkers, and I believe in us. We can make this state better for all our kids (and all our grown-ups, too!). We can take on the corruption and dysfunction in Albany and fix these problems ourselves. Will you join me?
