美劇《慾望都市》女演員或競選州長

Cynthia Nixon, a liberal activist and a star of the hit television series "Sex and the City," is considering a run for governor of New York, challenging incumbent Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, NY1 television said.

據紐約第一電視臺報道，自由派活動人士、熱門電視劇集《慾望都市》中的女明星辛西婭·尼克松正在考慮競選紐約州州長，她將在民主黨初選中挑戰現任州長安德魯·科莫。

The actress has begun assembling staff, including two veterans of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's election team.

這名女演員已經開始召集人手，其中包括來自紐約市長白思豪競選班子的兩名經驗豐富的工作人員。

"Many concerned New Yorkers have been encouraging Cynthia to run for office, and as she has said previously, she will continue to explore it," Nixon's publicist said in a statement.

尼克松的公關人員在一份聲明中稱：“許多關心政治的紐約人一直鼓勵辛西婭競選公職，正如她之前所說，她將繼續考慮此事。”

"If and when such a decision is made, Cynthia will be sure to make her plans public."

“如果做出這樣的決定，辛西婭一定會公開她的計劃。”

The primary is Sept 13 and the general election Nov 6.

民主黨初選將於9月13日舉行，而州長選舉定於11月6日舉行。

Nixon, 51, starred in the HBO television series from 1998 to 2004 about four women in New York City, playing the part of attorney Miranda Hobbes.

今年51歲的尼克松，在1998年至2004年，在這部有關紐約市四位女性的HBO系列劇集中出演，飾演律師米蘭達·霍比斯一角。

Asked about a possible challenge from Nixon, Cuomo told reporters on a conference call, "On people who may or may not run for governor on both sides of the aisle, that's up to them and we'll deal with it as the campaign progresses."

當被問及尼克松有可能帶來的挑戰時，現任州長科莫在一次電話會議中向記者透露：“關於一個人是否會競選兩黨的州長，這取決於他們自己，我們會在競選過程中處理這個問題。”
