Nixon, who has lived in the city all her life, also confirmed that she hasn’t been “bought or paid for” and won’t be taking any corporate contributions towards the campaign. Instead, her campaign will be “powered by the people”. She launched a website allowing US residents to donate.
“Cynthia Nixon is a lifelong New Yorker and progressive activist who is running for governor to fight for a better, more equal New York,” the site reads.
