We weren’t expecting this.
It’s been 14 years since we said goodbye to Sex and the City and it looks like one of its biggest stars is now ready for a career change.
Yes, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda were the best friends everyone wanted but we never considered they be the politicians we might need – until now.
It’s being reported that Cynthia Nixon is strongly considering a run for office.
What office you may ask? Well, just the Governor of New York’s.

If she jumps in, would be one of the most fascinating Democratic primaries in the country.

No. Just no. Start by running for a local race or state rep. We don’t need people running government with no experience. Dem or Republican, this contempt for expertise is bad for us all. https://t.co/p02nLXCnVK
