Actress turned politician Cynthia Nixon is aiming to improve the climate for women across the United States ... by getting the room temperature turned up.
The team backing Nixon's bid to become New York governor hit out at "notoriously sexist" chilled work environments that leave women shivering by asking for a debate hall to be warmed to 76 Fahrenheit (24 Celsius), the New York Times reported.
Nixon, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of lawyer Miranda Hobbes on the HBO show "Sex and the City," is trailing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in opinion polls as they battle for the state's Democratic gubernatorial nomination next month.
