Political career

SC House of Representatives

Democratic incumbent Marvin R. Pendarvis resigned from the South Carolina House District 113 seat on September 16, 2024. Because information did not come in time to remove his name from the general election ballot, a special election was scheduled for March 25, 2025.
Waters announced her intention to run for the seat on November 7. In a Special Election Democratic Primary on January 21, 2025, Waters defeated Michelle Brandt and Kim Clark.
Since no other opponents filed, Waters was the presumptive member-elect for the House seat. She went on to win the March 25, 2025 Special Election.
Waters serves on the House Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee.

School Board

Waters served for four years as a Charleston County School Board Trustee.
