I think they're referring to when in 1994 she was appointed to the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission by her boyfriend the then Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown.

Here's the LA Times article from 30 years ago.

Nothing says sleeping to the top like prominent posts that I just heard about today such as the California State Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission.

Oh I didn't make a judgement on it, just elaborating on where the belief stems from.

Although I believe the issue(?) is that those are paid positions. Of course, she might've genuinely been the best person for those roles.

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you, I was criticizing the people that are suggesting she slept her way to the top. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the pay issue, both positions are in the $50k range, so not exactly the stuff of corruption.
