Ellington and other candidates at a Bayview forum were asked whether they would limit billionaire funding of PACs in local elections. Ellington held up a green sign to indicate a yes. An audience member gasped,

    Last July, reporters clustered together inside Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office as the mayor, flanked by city officials, announced a two-hour ban on large vehicles parked on San Francisco streets.

    The largest political donation in a San Francisco supervisor’s race happened between a donor and a candidate who have only met in passing. District 10 supervisor candidate Theo Ellington said he’s only had a “couple of brief conversations” — and no formal meeting — with billionaire Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, who gave $500,000 on Sept. 3 to a political action committee backing Ellington. The donation became the starkest example of the attention Ellington has garnered from the city’s tech pol
