Willie Brown: My Extramarital Affair With 'Kamala Harris Benefited Her Politically, Now She Wants To Be President Willie Brown: My Extramarital Affair With 'Kamala Harris Benefited Her Politically, Now She Wants To Be President Senator Kamala Harris announced last week her intentions to run for president, and on Sunday she officially kicked off her bid with a rally in Oakland. While she’ll talk about a wide array of issues on the campaign trail and how she believes her qualifications make her the best Democrat to take on President Trump in 2020, one thing the first-time Senator won’t mention is her past relationship with former San Francisco mayor and California State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. Brown, on the other hand, opened up about their time together in a short piece posted at the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday: I’ve 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. Most of them, I have not returned. 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. Brown went on to talk about other Democrats he’s helped in the past: And I certainly helped with [Harris’s] 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. Well, he went there, so we’ll go there, too.
