Cynthia Nixon, An education activist and actress known for her role in Sex and The City has announced her candidacy for New York Governor. The actress will be challenging Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in this years democratic primary election, Ms. Nixon has never ran for public office and is seeking to unseat an incumbent who has had two terms in office; and is the son of a 3 term governor. Ms. Nixon's campaign states Governor Cuomo as a "Centrist and an Albany insider," and this is quite surprising because both the governor and M.s Nixon are from the Political Left wing, The left wing is nothing but centrists. Cynthia Nixon stated on twitter, "we are now the most unequal state in the entire country, With both incredible wealth and extreme Poverty," I can Contest that that is just not true, In fact I live in New York. I have seen the factories producing, The farms harvesting, and as a founder and owner of a small Company, I know that every one has the same chances to succeed. I started at 14 with pretty much nothing, I'm 20 now and have built an incredible business and will continue to do so.
Governor Coumo has downplayed Ms. Nixon's political challenge in recent days saying, "I'm not nervous about whoever runs, "there'll be people who run. that's called elections,and that's fine". Mr. Cuomo has remand a polarizing figure, particularly among Democratic activists. Mr. Cuomo is running for reelection and is a heavy front runner as a poll Conducted at Siena College shows that 19 percent of the students would side with Ms.Nixon. However an ugly primary Could effect the Governors Future If he descides to run For president in 2020 (That will never Happen). Mr. Cuomo has yet to build out his campaign team, despite his sizable treasury. His campaign manager from his 2010 and 2014 races, Joseph Percoco, was convicted on bribery charges last week in a federal trial. Still, he has vast resources at his fingertips. Last week, the state Democratic Party bought $100,000 in television ads touting Mr. Cuomo’s efforts on gun control. The party later said Mr. Cuomo’s campaign covered the cost.
For Ms. Nixon, that likely means she must run an insurgent campaign, and early indications show she will focus on digital organizing. She has tapped as campaign manager Nicole Aro, a former digital strategist for the AFL-CIO. Tim Tagaris, who served as digital fund-raising director for Mr. Sanders’ presidential campaign, has also signed on to help Ms. Nixon, according to two people familiar with the situation. ether way the next six months will hold many interesting events that will dictate the outcome of this Election primary.
