@vanityfair: Despite a lack of political experience, reality TV star Spencer Pratt is making greater inroads in his campaign to become the next mayor of Los Angeles than many expected when he announced his candidacy. Like many residents of the area, ‘The Hills’ figure lost his home in the 2025 LA wildfires. He blames the loss not on the climate crisis, which experts say has contributed to an uptick in SoCal blazes, but on current mayor Karen Bass. Pratt is running against her, he tells VF’s Maxwell Adler, to “damage” Bass “as much as possible.” Can a campaign based on retribution end in a TV personality as mayor of the second-largest city in the US? Recent polling has consistently placed him in second place behind Bass heading into California’s June 2 primary—positioning Pratt to make it into a runoff against the sitting mayor come November. Read Maxwell Adler’s interview with Spencer Pratt at our link in bio.

As someone living in LA, I wish you wouldn’t give him at platform. He’s only doing this to benefit himself and the billionaires. We have a lot of problems in LA. We don’t need another one with Spencer Pratt

Hey! We met at the south central event- glad you got to do a sit down with Spencer. I loved his video on his plan for homelessness- where I think he humanized them more than any candidate I’ve seen.
