WATTERS WORLD IS READING FAVORITE TRUMP TWEETS OF 2018
Emails show New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon was Mayor Bill de Blasio's celebrity fixer for years
Emails between Nixon and de Blasio's staff were released to the media on Friday
Show Nixon helped rally NYC celebrities to support the mayor's pet causes
She also ferried concerns from her famous pals directly to the mayor's office
Nixon will face incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary
Newly released emails show that New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon served as NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio's conduit to the celebrity world for several years.
The emails, released to several media outlets on Friday through a Freedom of Information request, span 2014 to 2018 and show the Sex and the City actress's cozy relationship with de Blasio.
Nixon often served as a conduit to City Hall for her celebrity pals, including former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, who sought assistance for a West Village restaurant in September 2014.
The restaurant, Tea & Sympathy, was struggling with rising rents, and Parker sent Nixon a note lobbying on their behalf, which Nixon forwarded directly to de Blasio.
We are having other problems in our neighborhood as well and the city hasn't been responding. Some are issues related to the very things our Mayor was criticising [former Mayor Michael] Bloomberg for,' Parker wrote in the email obtained by the New York Daily News.
'Lots of new little fines and potential shut downs of businesses. Wanting to be supportive and convince our local business leaders that we can get some support and a rational ear as well that De Blasio wasn't just courting votes but listening.'
Another plea for help came to Nixon in 2014 from Oskar Eustis, the Public Theater's Artistic Director overseeing Shakespeare in the Park, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Nixon passed on to de Blasio his complaint that a 'plague' of helicopters flying over Central Park would 'ruin Othello', and the mayor responded personally.
'Thanks for sending this along, Cynthia. That's a new one to me—no idea why the helicopters would be over the park. We'll check this out and get you an answer asap,' de Blasio replied.
A few days later, a City Hall official in an email said that he had reached out to air traffic controllers to reduce helicopter noise.

The group, made up of veterans and members of the New Jersey chapter of Bikers for Trump, descended on Trump National Golf Club on Saturday in a procession of chrome and roar of exhaust pipes.
