Cynthia Nixon Asked About Governor Run & She Doesn't Deny It!

Cynthia Nixon was asked about the rumor that she plans to run for Governor of New York, unseating current governor Andrew Cuomo.

“You know, I think there are a lot of people who would like me to run … for a variety of reasons,” she said on the Today show. “But I think the No. 1 is education.”

“We’ve got a real problem on our hands in New York State. We are the 49th in terms of equitable funding. That means there’s only one state that’s worse than us and that’s Illinois. And Governor Cuomo likes to say we spend more per pupil than any other state, and that is actually true, but the only reason that is true is because we spend so much on the kids in our wealthiest districts and so that evens out,” she added.
