The most exciting gubernatorial race of the decade is finally official: Today, actor Cynthia Nixon announced she’s running for governor of New York. In a video posted to Twitter, Nixon talked about her upbringing in the state, and the problems — chiefly amongst them the failing NYC subway system — she wants to solve. “Our leaders are letting us down,” she said in an obvious jab at current governor Andrew Cuomo.

As we wrote earlier this month, coverage of this new race means the Sex and the City references will be running wild throughout. But if Nixon wins, she will be following in the footsteps of fellow actor-turned-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who served the state of California in that role from 2003 to 2011.
