Ex-SF Mayors Demand Investigation into Mark Farrell's Campaign Funding
Former city leaders allege Farrell's misuse of funds violates election laws and call for urgent legal scrutiny.
- Three former San Francisco mayors have called for a criminal investigation into mayoral candidate Mark Farrell's campaign financing tactics.
- The allegations focus on Farrell's use of funds from a ballot measure committee to support his mayoral campaign, potentially bypassing legal donation limits.
- A $500,000 donation to the Yes on Prop D committee, linked to Farrell, has raised concerns of election law violations.
- Farrell defends his actions, claiming all financial activities were disclosed and legally vetted, despite accusations against his legal counsel's credentials.
- The San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General have acknowledged receipt of the request for investigation but remain non-committal on any action.
