The Rise and Fall of 'The Hills' Star Spencer Pratt's Improbable Campaign for Los Angeles Mayor
The former reality TV star fell short after a bid fueled by his Palisades Fire loss and a campaign against Los Angeles’s Democratic voter advantage.
- On Monday, The Associated Press determined that reality television personality Spencer Pratt failed to qualify for the November runoff to unseat incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

- While some residents like Susie Tho supported his desire for clean streets, Deanna Crane said she wanted "anyone with a pulse other than Spencer Pratt" as mayor.
- With Pratt eliminated, Bass now faces City Council Member Nithya Raman in November's runoff. Raman challenged the incumbent from the political left.
- The next mayor must manage a $15 billion budget and 50,000 municipal workers while addressing homelessness and infrastructure before Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Olympics.
