In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“The president is requesting birth certificates or passports for registration and picture ID for voting. This is simply a voter suppression tactic. We must resist his SAVE Act.”
Maxine Waters, CA-43 candidate, 2026 primary election questionnaireMay 5, 2026 · Press · Orange County Register (Southern California News Group) · source
“Whatever talent I have is on display. I'm a progressive lawmaker. I am an expert negotiator. I am an organizer. I am a good and articulate speaker. I solve problems. Oh, I'm a great dancer! And a strong swimmer.”
Maxine Waters, CA-43 candidate, 2026 primary election questionnaireMay 5, 2026 · Press · Orange County Register (Southern California News Group) · source
“Trump is punishing California. Trump hates California. Trump controls the entire Republican Party — the Republicans vote as Trump directs them to — as long as Trump is the president. He will not negotiate or reason with Democrats.”
Maxine Waters, CA-43 candidate, 2026 primary election questionnaireMay 5, 2026 · Press · Orange County Register (Southern California News Group) · source
“If you take a look at my energy and what I do — I am Auntie Maxine. I'm the one who popularized 'reclaiming my time.' … I don't know who's got more energy, more concern. And so, Maxine Waters seems to be doing all right.”
Waters, 87, to run for reelection as Democrats seek generational changeMar 23, 2026 · Press · Straight Arrow News (citing Politico interview) · source
