Spencer Pratt, ex-reality star turned wildfire critic, is running for mayor of Los Angeles
Former reality television personality Spencer Pratt announced Wednesday he is running for mayor of Los Angeles at a protest on the one-year anniversary of wildfires that devastated parts of the region.
Pratt, 42, grew up in Pacific Palisades and he and his wife, fellow ex-reality star Heidi Montag, lost their home in a fire that took 6,000 houses in and around the Palisades community last Jan. 7. Pratt has since attracted a large following in the fire’s aftermath, posting regularly on Instagram and TikTok with fierce criticism of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of the blaze.
“Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles,” Pratt said from the stage at the “They Let Us Burn” rally in the Palisades town center. “And I’m done waiting for someone to take real action. That’s why I am running for mayor.”
Pratt declined to take questions after he spoke at the rally, but showed a POLITICO reporter photos of him signing official campaign paperwork to confirm his run.
