Spencer Pratt is speaking out after the results were confirmed for the Los Angeles mayoral election.
“Are they done counting yet?” Pratt, 42, wrote via X on Thursday, June 11, in reference to the lengthy process of counting votes in Los Angeles County.
While the official answer is no, news broke on Sunday, June 7, that Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman leapfrogged Pratt behind incumbent Karen Bass, whose place in the November runoff was already cemented as polls closed on Tuesday, June 2. As a result, Raman, 44, and Bass, 72, will face off in an election later this year.
Pratt announced earlier this year that he would be running for Los Angeles mayor after his and wife Heidi Montag’s home in the Pacific Palisades was destroyed in the 2025 California wildfires. (Pratt and Montag, who tied the knot in 2009, share two sons.)
“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said while revealing his campaign during the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”
One month before the primary election, Pratt got candid about why he would make a great mayor despite his background in reality TV.
“What people want from me is somebody to tell them the truth. I [know] what it feels like when you’re the victim of the city’s failures — whether your house burned down or you were attacked or robbed, or you lost your job because restaurants have closed and Hollywood has failed or you’ve stepped on human poop and there’s a crazy, naked drug addict in front of your kids at the park. I’m not going to let this happen anymore,” he told Us Weekly in his May cover story.
In Pratt’s mind, “the only edge that reality TV and fame” gave him in the race “is just to prepare for the amount of negativity and threats.”
Spencer Pratt has his eye on one thing: becoming the next Los Angeles mayor. In a June 2 primary, incumbent Karen Bass advanced to the November 3 general election against either Pratt or City Councilwoman Nithya Raman. Her opponent had yet to be announced at the time of publication. Pratt announced his unlikely candidacy one […]
“No normal person would want to fight this demonic machine of evil that wants people to die on the street [and] doesn’t care about our lives,” he said. “You have to be a crazy person to do this as just a functioning normal, experienced human being. There’s no way it’s worth it, but if you’ve already been in the gutter with the internet, [it’s] just another day.”
Though Pratt faced criticism from fellow celebs including Drew Droege and Yvette Nicole Brown, others were vocal in their support before the primary.
“We are part of the exhausted majority that is begging for a clean and safe city for all Angelenos,” David Foster and Katharine McPhee exclusively told Us. “Severe loss has sadly provided Spencer Pratt with an opportunity to combat the status quo that hasn’t been working for decades. We believe that Spencer is the right man for the right job at the right time.”
