Willie Brown and two other former mayors of San Francisco along with six additional former city officials have filed a request for a criminal investigation into candidate for mayor Mark Farrell, citing campaign finance violations.
The letter, addressed to California Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, claims Farrell 'appears to be willfully violating election law,' by 'laundering significant sums of money through an unrestricted ballot measure committee to cover costs incurred by his campaign for mayor to circumvent the $500 per person limit on contributions.
Under San Francisco election law, campaign donations are capped at $500 for any contributor other than the candidate. The campaign is also not allowed to accept a donation of more than $500.The co-signers of the letter point to recent reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle that an independent committee in support of Proposition D that was created by Farrell pooled payments and resources with his own campaign.
