Cynthia Nixon
Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon has announced she is launching a bid for New York governor in the upcoming Democratic primary.
Nixon, who played Miranda Hobbs on the HBO series, has long been rumoured to run against Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The actress announced her plans to challenge the incumbent governor on Twitter on Monday.
The 51 year old, who has previously said she was exploring a possible run, has never held elected office.
Ms Nixon is openly gay and married her wife Christine Marinoni in 2012.
Ms Marinoni, an LGBTQ advocate, worked for New York Mayor Bill de Blasio until she resigned a month ago.
The pair both contributed financially to his mayoral race.
Ms Nixon has long championed access to quality education in New York.
