Politics
McFarland ran for David Durenberger's Minnesota U.S. Senate seat in 1994. He dropped out of the Senate race in May, 1994, when his campaign ran out of money and cast his support for Bert McKasy. Afterwards, in June he became the Lieutenant Governor running mate for Allen Quist, but the two lost in the primary election. Three years later, he garnered some votes in the race for Minnesota Attorney General in the 1997 convention, but withdrew from the race.
