Cynthia Nixon í framboð

Leikkonan Cynthia Nixon, sem við þekkjum kannski best í hlutverki Miröndu í sjónvarpsþáttunum Sex and the City, tilkynnti í dag framboð sitt til ríkisstjóra í New York fyrir hönd Demókrata. 

Nixon hefur búið í New York alla sína ævi langar að berjast fyrir bættri borg, betri heilsugæslu, betra skólakerfi og betra samfélgi fyrir alla. Kosningin fer fram í september en ef Nixon nær kjöri yrði hún fyrsti kvenkyns ríkisstjóri New York og einnig fyrsti samkynhneigði ríkisstjóri fylkisins. Tvö glerþök á sama tíma - það er ekkert annað. 

Ef Nixon á eitthvað sameiginlegt með karakternum sínum í Beðmálum í borginni, lögfræðingnum Miröndu Hobbes, þá mun hún taka kosningarbaráttuna framundan með trompi. 

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? (Link in bio.)

New York has never had a woman or openly gay governor in office, and Cynthia Nixon could be the one to change that. Nixon has also announced that she won't be accepting any corporate contributions in this campaign. "Our campaign will be powered by the people." Tap the link in bio to read more.
