The New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) on Sunday announced their endorsement of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. 

Nixon, best known for starring in "Sex and the City," is challenging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) from the left with a progressive platform that includes single-payer health care, climate justice and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Nixon in July dubbed herself a "democratic socialist" and her spokeswoman Lauren Hitt told Politico that she was in touch with NY-DSA.
