Pro-Park Campaign Outraises Opponents Seven-to-One in San Francisco's Great Highway Proposition G Battle
In San Francisco, the campaign to defeat Proposition G, a November measure that would reopen the Great Highway to cars, has significantly out-raised its opponents. Supporters of the Sunset Dunes park, who advocate for keeping the Great Highway car-free, have collected seven times more in campaign funds than those pushing to reopen the road. According to campaign finance filings, the 'No on G' campaign has raised $279,500 in 2026. A substantial portion of this funding, $200,000, came from Laura Yakovenko, wife of Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. Other significant donors to the 'No on G' campaign include Donald J. Edwards, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, and Friends of Sunset Dunes, each contributing $25,000. In contrast, the 'Yes on G' campaign, which supports reopening the road to cars on weekdays, has raised approximately $38,000, primarily from smaller individual donations. This financial disparity highlights the differing levels of organized support and funding behind each side of the proposition.
