​​Four challengers for seats on the seven-member Santa Clara City Council have received a significant financial windfall in recent weeks from a political action committee funded by 49ers owner Jed York.

York has contributed $3 million to Citizens for Efficient Government and Full Voting Rights, a PAC whose stated mission is to bring diversity to the city council​. Even in a city known for its contentious politics, the tactic is stunning.
