San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos, a former mayoral candidate, has acknowledged that he had an affair with his top office aide a relationship that appears to have skirted the boundaries of city rules.
Avalos said his $95,082-a-year aide, Raquel Redondiez, went on unpaid leave in May but has not officially quit.
We are not together, but we have shared our feelings for one another, and I felt it was most appropriate for her to find employment outside this office, said Avalos, 50.
I let a lot of people down, and Im really sorry, Avalos said.

(4,299 posts)As a legislative aide with a long history of activism, I don't think she qualifies as a young chick.

(4,412 posts)younger than he is, I think by about 10-12 years. He is separated from his wife and has two young children. His wife was also friends with Redondiez. I know they've worked together since Chris Daly's office but I had heard that the affair had been going on for about a year. He ended the relationship is how it's being reported.
