Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon has announced she is running for governor of New York.
"I love New York, and today I'm announcing my candidacy," the 51-year-old said on Twitter.
In an accompanying video, she added that "New York is where I was raised, and where I'm raising my kids".
Explaining why she is hoping to help run her home city, she said: "Our leaders are letting us down. We are now the most unequal state in the entire country, with both incredible wealth and extreme poverty."
She adds: "We want our government to work again. We are sick of politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us."
It means she will be challenging incumbent Andrew Cuomo, 60, for the Democratic nomination in a primary on 13 September.
If Nixon wins both the primary, and the election on 6 November, she will become New York's first female and first openly gay governor.
She is aligned with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio - a Democrat to the left of Mr Cuomo.
The two men have had disagreements over issues including public transit and housing.
In an opinion poll conducted by Siena College before the announcement, Mr Cuomo had a lead of 66% to 19% over Nixon.
Suggestion that she was considering running for the office had first been reported earlier this month.

Soy Sauce Noodles With Cabbage and Fried Eggs Time: 30 minutes Soy sauce noodles, a traditional Cantonese dish frequently eaten for breakfast or lunch at dim sum, are hearty enough to be served for dinner as well. Contrary to the traditional dish, which includes bean sprouts and frequently garlic chives, this recipe calls for cabbage because it has a nice textural crunch and plenty of scallions since they pack a strong flavor. Regular and dark soy sauce, or lăochu in Cantonese, are simply mixed together to make the soy sauce seasoning. It imparts the noodles' very rich color. Tamari also works nicely if black soy sauce is not an option. Although thin egg noodles are typically used in this recipe, any dry wheat noodles would work in a pinch. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings FOR THE NOODLES Kosher salt 7 ounces dried (or 16 ounces fresh) thin egg noodles Neutral oil, such as vegetable or grapeseed 4 large eggs ½ small green cabbage (1½ pounds), core removed then thinly sliced 1 ...
