Cynthia Nixon made two stops in the Capital Region on Sunday as part of her campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor.

Nixon visited the outdoor Schenectady Greenmarket Sunday morning, stopping to talk with supporters before giving a brief speech on the steps of City Hall.

The speech was the latest in Nixon's tour through upstate New York the past week. The actress and education advocate is attempting to unseat Governor Andrew Cuomo, and has been trailing the governor by double digits in statewide polling. Nixon had previously been in Rochester, Syracuse and Ithaca.

In Schenectady, Nixon repeatedly criticized Cuomo as governing as a Democrat in name only and being beholden to big corporations and real estate developers.

“I am running because I am tired of fake corporate Democrats who won’t lift a finger to enact change unless their donors say it's OK," she said.

In her speech, Nixon went over her platform of calling for the legalization of marijuana, changing the school funding formula and raising taxes on higher income New Yorkers.

Nixon also went into detail about her plan to create jobs through what she calls a polluters' tax. She told the crowd of about 75 supporters and campaign volunteers that the tax would raise $7 billion and that money could be used to create around 100,000 “green jobs” in the renewable energy sector.

Nixon countered criticism of the televised debate between herself and Cuomo held earlier in the week — a debate that was centered on New York City issues. Nixon said the forum's topics were solely driven by the moderators' questions, and she has called on Cuomo to participate in an upstate debate before primary day Sept. 13.

“We had only one, downstate in which we were asked no upstate questions which seems crazy but we were also not asked about education, we were also not asked about criminal justice, also not asked about environmental issues,” she said.

Nixon also greeted campaign volunteers at the Saratoga Arts Center before heading south to Kingston for a rally with Zephyr Teachout, who is running for attorney general in that Democratic primary. Teachout briefly appeared at the Schenectady Greenmarket talking to city residents, but did not stay for Nixon's talk at City Hall.

Teachout is running against Leecia Eve, a former policy advisor for Hillary Clinton, Letitia James, the New York City public advocate and Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney.

Meanwhile, Cuomo on Sunday morning briefly spoke at a Spanish-speaking church in the Bronx, continuing his assault on President Donald Trump and the federal government's response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

In a press release posted after that appearance, the governor's office said New York will be filing a lawsuit against Trump and the federal government "for failing to adequately respond and provide assistance following Hurricane Maria."
