Chelsea Clinton: I May Run For Office Some Day

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton hints there may come a day when she runs for public office – a family business she's been quizzed about "for as long as I can remember."

The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and front-running Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton, interviewed by Access Hollywood at an event of The Clinton Foundation in Oakland, Calif., insists she's got no immediate plans to enter politics.

"People have been asking this for as long as I can remember," she said, relating a story about attending a rally for her father, a former governor of Arkansas.

When a woman inquired if she thought she too would run for governor of Arkansas one day, Clinton, 36, said she replied, "'Thank you ma'am but I'm 3 or 4 or however old I was at the time."

Clinton insists she likes her representatives in New York on all levels of government, but she'd consider a run if that were to change.

"I also think I'm really lucky to support and feel like I'm well represented, and my values are well represented by the people I could vote for," she said. "Like I really like my city councilwoman in New York, I really like my public advocate, I like my mayor, I like my congressman, I like my senators, I love my president."

"I think if that were to change, like if I didn't like whomever were to succeed my councilwoman or my public advocate, then I would have to think, you know, could I make a real difference here or is this something that I should do," she said.
