"Let me be very clear about this argument and discussion that has developed about age and about opportunities for young people," Maxine Waters tells Nicholas Wu. "I do believe that everybody should have the opportunity, with qualifications, to try and be a member of Congress, to try and be in positions for any of our regulatory agencies. I believe in the vote. "Now, having said that, I don't think we should talk about whether or not we should give up the mantle. I think it should be about supporting the idea that everybody should have an opportunity. Young people should run for these offices, and if they are competent, if they're capable, if they raise the money — if they do all of those things and they win, then they should have the seat. "For those of us who've been there, I want us to be absolutely looked at, to be criticized, to be examined, to see whether or not we have done what was expected of us and whether or not we have truly represented the people that have put us in these offices. "If we're not doing that, then we shouldn't be there, and we will probably not win our seats, but if we have, then ... we'll stay there. I'll be there. I'm not moving."
