The dirty secret the Harris campaign is trying to keep hidden goes well beyond her affair with the married former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
“Kamala Harris’ first significant political role was an appointment by her powerful then-boyfriend Willie Brown, three decades her senior, to a California medical board that has been criticized as a landing spot for patronage jobs and kickbacks,” Washington Examiner reports.
Then 30, Harris was having an affair with 60-year-old Willie Brown, at the time the Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly, when he placed her on the California Medical Assistance Commission in 1994.
The position paid over $70,000 per year, $120,700 in current money, and Harris served on the board until 1998.
The medical commission met twice a month, and Harris missed about 20 percent of the meetings each year, according to commission records obtained by the Washington Examiner. The seven-member board was largely comprised of late-career former state officials who were semi-retired or biding time before retirement.
At 30 years old, Harris was the youngest appointee by some three decades. In fact, Harris left her job as a deputy prosecutor at the district attorney’s office in Alameda County, to join this board with old-timers who were all there in a scam to enrich themselves and rarely attended the meetings. In essence, there was no job, it was just a money scheme.
The board appointments were Willie Brown’s way of repaying his “political debts.”
Brown, in a letter to Harris, wrote that he was “pleased to appoint” her to the board, which oversaw the payment of insurance providers for state-subsidized MediCal recipients. “I am confident that your knowledge and experience will contribute significantly to the important work of the Commission,” he wrote, per the Washington Examiner.
Harris had no medical background, according to a copy of her resume that she submitted to Brown at the time. Her experience consisted of four years as a deputy prosecutor, a handful of summer jobs and internships, and a volunteer position at a hospital fundraising group.
