Cynthia Nixon's campaign responded to Governor Cuomo's address to the Democratic State Party in a statement, today. Cynthia spent the morning speaking with community leaders in the Bronx about affordable housing, criminal justice reform and community-driven development. She also received the endorsement of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee today.
"The Governor's attempt to reset his campaign this week failed," said campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt. "His highly choreographed convention inflamed old divisions, and provided a series of bizarre, tone-deaf moments. Simply put, the Governor did little to push back on the growing realization among New Yorkers that he has more much in common with his wealthy Republican donors than Democrats."
The Nixon campaign released a new video this morning highlighting the numerous steps the Governor took to help Republicans maintain control of the State Senate, a claim the Governor tried to refute at the start of his speech today. The campaign also released a series of fact checks throughout the Governor's convention remarks, setting the record straight on Cuomo's claims that he's been a good ally to women, labor unions, public school teachers, and the middle class. Throughout his speech, Cuomo also repeatedly criticized President Trump, in an attempt to nationalize his race and distract from local failings, but the Governor has much more in common with Trump than he'd care to admit (fact check).
