The mayor’s committee pushing the three measures, “Clean Up City Hall,” has raised over $11 million so far. That is more than all the other local ballot measures combined this cycle, and comes from a host of wealthy donors, including several billionaires.

While the sum is not unusual relative to Larsen’s other contributions, it is highly unusual for a San Francisco supervisorial race, and likely larger than any other contribution coming from an individual to support a city supervisor candidate, ever.
