Pratts Viral Ad Lifts LA Mayoral Race Standing

Spencer Pratt, a former reality television personality known from "The Hills," has gained significant momentum in the Los Angeles mayoral race after releasing a campaign advertisement on April 29 that contrasted his living situation with those of Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The 30-second video, which has garnered more than 8 million views on X, begins outside Bass's residence at Getty House and Raman's home in a Silver Lake historic district property valued at around $3 million. "This is where Mayor Bass lives. You notice something?" Pratt says. "Or here, where Nithya Raman's $3 million mansion sits. They don't have to live in the mess they've created, where you live." The ad then shows images of homeless encampments, fires, graffiti, and traffic congestion before cutting to Pratt in front of a trailer on his Pacific Palisades property. "This is where I live. They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That's why I'm running for mayor, for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back," he states.
