Chelsea Clinton says in a new interview that she's open to a run for a multitude of offices, from mayor of New York to the U.S. Senate. 
 
 "I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives," Clinton told Fast Company. "If at some point that weren't the case, and I didn't support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators -- and I'm lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know -- maybe then I'd have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer." 
 
 The answer is pretty similar to a response Clinton, 34, has given before, except in her prior response, she didn't spell out the different offices that are on her radar. 
 
 New York's two U.S. senators, for what it's worth, are Charles Schumer (D), 63, and Kirsten Gillibrand (D), 47. 
 
 Here's a rundown of all the offices Clinton could run for, courtesy of The Fix. ||||| There’s a female politician from New York who is beloved by gay rights activists, has amassed a national fundraising network and is viewed by many Democrats as a viable presidential candidate. 
 
 And her name is not Hillary Clinton.

 reset Gillibrand sets up for 2016 - Mike Allen reports Gillibrand in tears over Sandy 
 
 If Clinton runs for president, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s time won’t be in 2016. But the junior senator from New York, who holds Clinton’s former seat and is often overshadowed by the state’s better-known political figures, is quietly building a résumé that would allow her to be taken seriously should she ever decide to run for president. 
 
 As a Blue Dog Democrat from upstate New York, the former congresswoman was viewed with distrust — if not disdain — by the left when she snagged a surprise appointment to Clinton’s seat in 2009 amid fierce jockeying for the slot.

 Since then, the 46-year-old Dartmouth-educated attorney has demonstrated impressive political chops. She has managed not only to ease liberals’ misgivings about her but also to win their enthusiastic support — all while maintaining her moderate cred and doing the kind of behind-the-scenes political scut work that could enable an eventual national bid. 
 
 “I find her to be very impressive,” said the champion of the left circa 2004, Howard Dean. “She often underwhelms people at first sight, [but] when you look under the hood, you find a first-class political mind and someone who has a great deal of skill.” 
 
 After skating to a full term in November, Gillibrand told President Barack Obama he would be wise to foster closer ties to the Senate’s 20 female members; he heeded that advice by having them over for dinner at the White House on Tuesday night. She recently hosted a fundraiser for Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the underdog-turned-favorite in a special House election in South Carolina against Republican Mark Sanford next month.

 Gillibrand’s standout move in the 2012 election cycle was through one of her PACs, the female candidate-centric Off the Sidelines, which helps galvanize support and fundraising for women candidates. 
 
 It’s a form of grass-roots list-building that would benefit a potential Democratic presidential candidate. The PAC serves some of the same purposes as more-established groups, like EMILY’s List, which promote and endorse women candidates. 
 
 “We love Kirsten Gillibrand,” EMILY’s List President Stephanie Schriock said, adding that Gillibrand’s PAC has augmented her group’s own efforts. 
 
 Schriock added that she believes the PAC is motivated primarily by Gillibrand’s desire to help women get elected, not her own political future. It raised $1 million for women last cycle, primarily online, Gillibrand’s aides say, with the biggest share going to Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. ||||| ADVERTISEMENT MarloThomas.com 
 
 When asked about the prospect of ever running for office like both of her parents, Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, had a great response. 
 
 One of Chelsea’s earliest childhood memories was when she was on the campaign trail with her father in Arkansas at the age of three. A woman asked her if she was going to run for governor one day, and Chelsea retorted, “No way! I’m three!” Up until 2008, when her mother ran for office, Chelsea had maintained that same answer, but now, she’s simply not so sure. 
 
 During her mother’s 2008 Presidential campaign, Chelsea realized the fundamental importance of running for office. “There are many ways to serve, and right now, my calling is with the Clinton Foundation,” she explained. 
 
 “I am really lucky that I live in a city, state and country where I support my elected officials. If I was ever to not feel that way and felt I could make a difference, I’d have to think about it very seriously,” Chelsea told us.

 Close  Life And Career Of Chelsea Clinton of   
 
 At just 34 years of age, Chelsea Clinton (pictured here with husband Marc Mezvinsky) has already lived a rich and exciting life -- as an Arkansas schoolgirl, White House resident, collegiate scholar, financial market whiz-kid, network journalist, national political consultant, avid supporter of the arts and, today, as Vice Chair of the globally renowned Clinton Foundation. 
 
 Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was inaugurated on January 20, 1993, becoming the 42nd President of the United States. That same day, Chelsea Clinton, not yet 13, moved into the White House with her parents and began her new life in the media spotlight as a First Daughter. 
 
 Growing up, Chelsea was very close with her father, attending political events, speeches and rallies -- and always by his side. Here, President Clinton talks with Chelsea before a rally in his home state of Arkansas. 
 
 President Clinton, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea greet the crowds before boarding a boat in Martha's Vineyard, during a family vacation in 1993. 
 
 Despite growing up in the media glare, Chelsea -- thanks to her parents’ conscientious oversight -- led a relatively normal life, participating in many typical kids’ activities. She began taking dance classes at age four and continued to dance ballet throughout her teenage years. Here, she rehearses for an upcoming performance of Washington Ballet's holiday production of "The Nutcracker." She was 13. 
 
 In 1996, President Bill Clinton was elected to a second term as U.S. President. Here, the family celebrates his successful re-nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 
 
 Throughout President Clinton's two consecutive terms, Chelsea and her mother, Hillary Rodham Clinton, remained inseparable, attending political events together as First Lady and First Daughter. Here, mother and daughter bond while on a family retreat in Hilton Head, SC. 
 
 In 2001, Chelsea graduated from Stanford University. She would go on to receive a Masters degree from Oxford University in 2003, and later, a Master of Public Health degree from Columbia University. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree. 
 
 During New York Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2008, Chelsea publicly supported her mom all along the campaign trail. Here, the pair greets the cheering throng at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. 
 
 On July 31, 2010, Chelsea married Marc Mezvinsky, an investment banker and the son of politicians. Their nuptials, dubbed “Chelsea’s Dream Wedding” on the cover of People magazine, took place in an estate overlooking the Hudson River in Rhinebeck, New York. In a 2013 interview with Glamour magazine, Chelsea revealed that she and Marc “decided we were going to make 2014 the Year of the Baby.” Stay tuned! 
 
 Following in the footsteps of her parents' political and social activism, Chelsea has become a prominent media figure, serving as a special correspondent for broadcast networks, including NBC News. Here, she speaks on a panel at the 2013 Education Nation Summit. 
 
 Chelsea now serves as Vice Chair of the Clinton Global Foundation, an initiative created by her family to help create social change in developing countries. Here, she and her dad speak with entrepreneurs in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2013, in an effort to shed light on international health issues, including HIV testing. 
 
 No Ceilings is an initiative launched at the Clinton Foundation, led by then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea. The initiative seeks to apply a data-driven approach to understanding the economic gains and gaps that women have experienced over the past 20 years. 
 
 One of the most vital initiatives Chelsea spearheads through the Clinton Foundation is the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a partnership between the Clinton Foundation and American Heart Association that focuses on childhood obesity. This past month, Chelsea spoke at the 2014 New York City Go Red For Women Luncheon at the New York Hilton. 
 
 Throughout her career, Chelsea has remained committed to empowering the next generation to help create change. She has passionately enlisted youth in foundation programming through the Clinton Global Initiative University, a program that targets college students and urges them to commit to bringing social change to the world. 
 
 Another program Chelsea has helped implement through the Clinton Foundation is Day of Action, a community service-centric initiative founded in direct response to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Share  Tweet  ✖ Share this ✖ close Current Slide

– Chelsea Clinton is getting some attention for comments she made to Fast Company when asked about following her parents into politics. Her answer has always been a "visceral no," says the 34-year-old resident of New York City, but that's no longer the case: "I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives. If at some point that weren't the case, and I didn't support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators—and I'm lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know—maybe then I'd have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer." At the Washington Post, Aaron Blake points out that Clinton has said something similar publicly on at least one other occasion, though she has never been so specific about possible offices. As for the two senatorial posts in New York, Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand is 47 and Chuck Schumer is 63. (Dad thinks Clinton ought to aim a little higher than a Senate seat, of course.)
