• Proposition A (school bonds) | |||
• Proposition K (closing the Great Highway) | |||
• Proposition H (firefighter pensions) | |||
• Proposition I (nurses and 911 operator pensions) | |||
The arguments (limit 300 words) against Propositions H and I won the lottery held by the San Francisco Elections Department, and were published in the Voter Handbook mailed to hundreds of thousands of registered San Francisco voters. As the official opponent of these measures, the LPSF also got to submit rebuttals (limit 250 words) to the proponents arguments in support of Propositions H and I. <ref>url=https://www.sf.gov/reports/november-2024/qualified-measures | title=San Francisco Department of Elections | access date=Sept. 27, 2024</ref> | |||
