The California senator officially entered the 2020 fray on Sunday with a speech outside Oakland City Hall. Harris' press secretary tweeted that more than 20,000 people showed up to see the event.
Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has admitted to an extramarital affair with California Senator Kamala Harris.
Brown also admitted to giving Harris her first state jobs.
In a short article in the San Francisco Chronicle Brown admitted to the extra-marital affair and to appointing Harris to two state commissions.
He writes,
"Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.
"And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians."
The San Francisco Weekly reported on Kamala’s affair with Willie Brown in 2003, but noted that Harris routinely tried to distance herself from her him.
