Explore: $8M going to S.F. ballot measures

"About three-quarters of all the money pouring into San Francisco's June 2 election is going toward just four measures on the ballot. The majority of that $7.9 million is funding dueling businesses tax measures: The "overpaid CEO tax," Proposition D, and a competing measure placed on the ballot in hopes of sinking it, Proposition C. Big political and corporate donors have heavily backed Prop. C, while labor groups have come out in force to back Prop. D."

"Over $1.7 million has been raised to support Prop. A, the bond measure which would pay for infrastructure improvements related to earthquake safety. Chris Larsen, the founder of Ripple and a major political donor, has given $520,000 in support of the measure (he has also given $700,000 to fight Prop. D). Several unions have collectively given at least $550,000 toward Prop. A."

"Trailing behind in fundraising is Prop. B, which would place lifetime term limits on anyone who has held office as mayor or on the Board of Supervisors. The measure has raised about $352,000, with the majority of that coming from Larsen and fellow billionaire Michael Moritz. Not quite $3,000 has been raised in opposition."

"Contributions to committees supporting and opposing multiple measures are duplicated. For example, contributions to the committee supporting Prop. C and opposing Prop. D will appear under both measures. The contributions are up to date as of May 7,2026. Source: San Francisco Ethics Commission via S.F. Open Data."

About three-quarters of money raised for San Francisco’s June 2 election goes to four ballot measures. Most of the $7.9 million supports two dueling business tax proposals: Proposition D, the “overpaid CEO tax,” and Proposition C, a competing measure intended to sink it. Big political and corporate donors back Proposition C, while labor groups back Proposition D. Over $1.7 million supports Proposition A, a bond measure for infrastructure improvements tied to earthquake safety, including large contributions from Chris Larsen and unions. Proposition B, which would impose lifetime term limits on the mayor and Board of Supervisors, raises about $352,000, mainly from Larsen and Michael Moritz, with under $3,000 raised against it.
