"Meet Mark," mayoral candidate Mark Farrell's campaign site invites in bold black font, urging viewers to read on. "Mark was a lawyer, investment banker, and co-founded Thayer Ventures, an investment firm focused on the travel and mobility sectors," a reader learns.
In all likelihood, Mark Farrell will be allowed to use the 'small business owner' designation on the ballot despite his roles as an investor and managing director of a venture capital firm.
"At this time the department is not planning to take further action," said John Arntz, the director of the Department of Elections.
The department stated that technically Farrell can use the 'small business owner' designation because Thayer Ventures falls within the U.S. Census Bureau definition of a small business.
