Ripple chairman and San Francisco native Chris Larsen poured more than $22 million into national politics this cycle, much of it to the Democratic candidates and PACs that helped usher in a historic blue wave. In California, he spent millions boosting moderate, business-friendly candidates and measures that scored wins in deep-blue districts.

On a clear evening the span looks almost calm, a long ribbon of steel carrying headlights from one shore to the other. Then a message board blinks, a lane drops away, and the rhythm breaks.
