2016 Presidential Campaign

On January 28, 2016, Farrell filed for President of the United States for the Democratic Party in West Virginia.[4] He cited West Virginia's disenfranchisement with the national candidates as his motivation for running noting U.S. President Barack Obama's poor showing in the 2012 Democratic Primary in West Virginia.
