Cynthia Nixon

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cynthia Nixon come together to "speak of their shared progressive, people-powered campaigns taking on centrist, corporate Democrats"

"Don't be scared of democracy—let the voters decide."

With the new system, said one supporter, "candidates will have to knock on the door of not just a certain plurality, but on the diverse doors of NYC's mosaic majority."

"This is an incredible moment for progressives, but it's not just a moment—it's a movement, and this movement is only growing stronger."

"The progressive movement today is transforming American politics from coast to coast. This Thursday, New York state voters can take us a major step forward."

"This is an attack not only on my children and my character, but on all New Yorkers."

Challenger Cynthia Nixon promised to end the "incredible corruption" of the governor's seven-year tenure by bringing ambitious vision and people-powered politics to New York
