She briefly stated, Cynthia has been my friend and colleague since we were little girls.
I look forward to talking to her about her New York state gubernatorial bid.
Parker joins Kim Cattrall and Kristen Davis in supporting Nixon.
Cattrall, whos been in the midst ofa public feudwith Parker, provided a neutral statement about Nixons run.
I support & respect any former colleagues right to make their own career choices, the actress had tweeted.
Davis, in true Charlotte fashion, was more firm.
Nixon will oppose current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming Democratic Primary.
Im a proud public school graduate and a prouder public school parent.
I was given chances I just dont see for most of New Yorks kids today.
Our leaders are letting us down.
In the past, Nixon has been an advocate for education, LGBTQ rights, and womens rights.
Half the kids in our upstate cities live below the poverty line.
How did we let this happen?, she continued.
I love New York.
Ive never wanted to live anywhere else, but something has to change.
We want our government to work again on health care, ending mass incarceration, fixing our broken subway.
We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us.
