Former Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is emerging as a possible candidate in next year's election for New York governor.
A native New Yorker, Nixon has been involved in the Big Apple's political scene, and – according to Entertainment Weekly - both the Associated Press and Wall Street Journal report liberal groups are now urging her to consider running for office.
New York’s current governor, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, has been in the role for two terms and is planning a bid for a third term ahead of next year's election.
"She’s an out-of-the-box candidate with progressive credentials who would excite people," Billy Easton, director of the public education advocacy group Alliance for Quality Education, told the Wall Street Journal.
Nixon is keeping tight-lipped on the matter, which would suggest that there is some substance to the rumours of her running for office.
