Cynthia Nixon running for governor of New York - robkelk - 03-19-2018
On the Democratic ticket, assuming she's chosen in the primaries.
Sex and the State House, anyone?
Quote:Her announcement sets up a race pitting an openly gay liberal activist against a two-term incumbent with a $30 million US war chest and possible presidential ambitions.
Which means she doesn't have much of a chance, unless she can raise a much larger war chest and get voters to ignore her sexual orientation - but that has happened elsewhere in North America. (Ontario's current Premier, to be specific, who has been Premier for about a decade now... and it usually takes about a decade for innovations in Canada to become possible in the USA.) Or unless Cuomo decides to go for the Oval Office, in which case all bets are off.
