Quick Scoop

  • Maxine Waters was born on August 15, 1938, in St. Louis, Missouri.
  • Biographical profiles currently list her as age 87, which matches that 1938 birthdate.
  • She continues to serve as the U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district, a seat she has held since 1991 (under different district numbers before 2013).

Age math in simple terms

  • Birth year: 1938.
  • Current year: 2026.
  • 2026 − 1938 = 88, but since today is before August 15, she has not had her 2026 birthday yet, so she is still 87.
