Cynthia Nixon—the Tony-winning actor and Carrie Bradshaw’s brainy friend in Sex in the City— made the announcement today on Twitter:

Nixon will be running against Democratic incumbent Andrew Coumo in New York’s September primary, and while she has never before sought public office, Miranda can be seen on Sex and the City reruns across America showing us that women really can have it all: the job, the baby, the weekly brunch date, and, maybe, the highest office in New York.
