Cynthia Nixon Is Running for New York Governor and 'Sex and the City' Fans Are Thrilled

Miranda Hobbes could be relocating from New York City to Albany: Former "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon has officially announced that she's running for New York State governor.

The Emmy-winning actress and longtime political activist kicked off her campaign on Monday, sharing a video message on Twitter declaring her love for her lifelong home, and her desire to fix what she calls its broken political system. At the forefront of her campaign platform is addressing New York's glaring income and education inequality, as well as repairing New York City's dilapidated subway system.

I love New York, and today I'm announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us: https://t.co/9DwsxWW8xX pic.twitter.com/kYTvx6GZiD

"I love New York. I've never wanted to live anywhere else. But something has to change," Nixon said in her announcement video. " ... Together we can win this fight."

Of course, despite the real political issues at stake, "SATC" fans couldn't help but wonder how Nixon's Miranda past would inform her future policy-making decisions as governor. Twitter users took the occasion to make a bunch of "Sex" jokes about her campaign.

That's such a Miranda thing to do

Later that night I got to thinking, was Miranda right? Was running for governor the new brunch? https://t.co/qtw3Seh2Q8

"She was fed up with New York's education system and women being pushed to the periphery by a political apparatus that dismissed them as convenient votes with inconvenient opinions. And as I sat there, I wondered: was Cynthia Nixon playing Miranda or was Miranda there all along?" pic.twitter.com/0UTngTDnmx

Samantha: I don't believe in the Republican party or the Democratic party. I just believe in parties.
