Summary

Los Angeles has become a symbol of political dysfunction: rising homelessness, crime concerns, failed leadership, and endless excuses from the people running the city. Into that chaos steps Spencer Pratt, the reality TV outsider now running for mayor with a campaign style that resembles the rise of Donald Trump: another outsider with eyes clear enough to see the corrupt machine and willing to call it out directly.After losing his home in the Palisades fire, Pratt has turned his frustration into a full-blown political movement targeting LA’s political establishment, Democratic socialists, and what many see as the culture of managed decline destroying California’s largest city.From viral Batman-style campaign videos to direct attacks on Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, Pratt’s campaign is tapping into growing anger from voters who feel abandoned by the people in power.
