Former S.F. Mayor Willie Brown writes about dating Kamala Harris, appointing her to posts

She started off her political career as mistress to a married man that was twice her age and gave her political appointments to boot.

Willie Brown " she will work her backside off";

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past relationship with Sen. Kamala Harris in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday and acknowledged giving her appointments that furthered her career.

"Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago," wrote Brown, who said he had "been peppered with calls from the national media about my 'relationship' with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president."

Harris' office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on Brown's letter to the Chronicle.

Brown was married at the time he and Harris dated, but – because he had been "estranged from his wife" Blanche Brown since 1981, according to People magazine –the relationship was not kept secret. A Sacramento Bee reporter told People that Brown "had a succession of girlfriends" and would "go to a party with his wife on one arm and his girlfriend on the other.”

A 1994 Los Angeles Times report about then-California Assembly Speaker Brown's "rush to hand out patronage jobs" described Harris as Brown's "frequent companion" and said several people referred to her as Brown's girlfriend. That report also cited a column from the Chronicle's Herb Caen that called Harris "the Speaker's new steady." When they met, she was 29 and Brown was 60.


According to Caen, the couple split up in 1995, which "flabbergasted" those "who found Kamala the perfect antidote to whatever playboy tendencies still reside in the mayor-elect's jaunty persona."

Although Brown supported Harris in her successful 2003 run for San Francisco district attorney, she tried to distance herself from him in that race, telling SF Weekly that Brown – whose career was dogged by corruption allegations – was an "albatross hanging around my neck."


"His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told SF Weekly, vowing, "If there is corruption, it will be prosecuted."

Among the issues that followed Harris from her time with Brown was the allegation of cronyism in his appointment of her to two well-paying posts.

"Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote Saturday. Brown was the speaker from 1980 to 1995, prior to his stint as San Francisco mayor.


Brown appointed Harris to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and then to the Medical Assistance Commission – positions that paid her more than $400,000 over five years, according to SF Weekly. Brown also gave Harris a BMW.

"And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco," he said in his Chronicle letter Saturday..

"I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.

"The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," Brown wrote. "That’s politics for ya."

Truly men hates to see successful women

If u wan know pipu wey u no know say u don offend, just become famous.

D way dem go provide u with the time, date & other details, u go fear.

Even Donald Trump had an entanglement with Stormy Daniels; a pörnstar.

I like the part that the randy Mayor confessed that she threatened him with criminal prosecution if he was found wanting during her tenure as California State District Attorney, despite their previous romantic affair.

"The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," Brown wrote. "That’s politics for ya."

That is not politics, that is integrity, and see how far it has got her.

You skipped the part he made her 'successful'.

"Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker," Brown wrote Saturday. Brown was the speaker from 1980 to 1995, prior to his stint as San Francisco mayor.

Safe to say that "Men make their women successful"

An ungodly woman has slept her way to the White House. May God help us.

And some people will say to succeed in life you have to struggle.

Abeg,tell people the truth.Its all about connections and different risk/manipulation.

"His career is over; I will be alive and kicking for the next 40 years. I do not owe him a thing," she told SF Weekly, vowing, "If there is corruption, it will be prosecuted."

Kamala just being a typical "what have you done for me that no one has ever done for others?" woman.

The man was a simp ,I love what Kamala did to the fool.The man no see his wife or sister to empower na olosho him go empower
Serves him right

She slept her way to the top, executhief hoelosho. Everyone in the political arena knows this. Who knows the kind of acrobatics she did to Mr super-womanizer Biden before he gave her the VP slot

It appears this woman is quite ambitious and is ready to sacrifice friendship to achieve her objectives

Do you know why I can't have issues with any of these stories people are going to keep coming up with to tarnish the image of Kamala Harris or Biden, it's because these exact same things were done to Trump.

They did not let the man enjoy his presidency for one day.

As far as I know, no opposition should have monopoly over stupidity...
