辛西娅•尼克松要竞选州长的传闻如今已成为事实。星期一，这位女演员兼活动家通过推特宣布她要竞选纽约州长，并计划在9月13日的民主初选中与现任州长安德鲁•科莫展开竞争。
“New York is where I was raised, and where I'm raising my kids,”she says in the campaign announcement video. “I'm a proud public school graduate. And a prouder public school parent. I was given chances I just don't see for New York's kids today.”
“纽约是我长大的地方，也是我养育孩子的地方，”她在竞选公告的视频中说道。“我是一名自豪的公立学校毕业生，也是一名更自豪的公立学校学生的家长。我所得到的机会是如今纽约的孩子所无法获得的。”
“Half the kids in our upstate cities live below the poverty line. How did we let this happen? I love New York . I've never wanted to live anywhere else. But something has to change.”
“在我们的城市北部，有一半的孩子生活在贫困线以下。我们是如何让这一切发生的？我热爱纽约。我从未想过在其他地方生活。但是有些事情必须要做出改变。”
And, as some New Yorkers will be happy to hear, she wants to fix those broken subways.

Nixon also released an opening statement about her announcement to run, describing her agenda as a “bold, progressive message” and calling out Cuomo as a “centrist.”
关于她的竞选宣言，尼克松还发表过一份公开声明，称她的议程“大胆且先进”，还称科莫为“中立派议员”。

尼克松准备竞选州长已有一段时间了。鉴于纽约大量地铁延迟以及在科莫两个任期内所发生的问题，她研究了运输政策，想争取那些对地铁失望的纽约人的支持。
