Spencer Pratt, the reality TV vet from The Hills, is ditching the small screen for a shot at L.A. Mayor. Exactly one year after a wildfire torched his family's spot in Pacific Palisades, California, he jumped in the race, blasting the city's broken system. At a rally on January 7th, 2026, a fresh UCLA Lusken pole from April, 2026 puts current mayor Karen Bass out front at 25 percent, with Pratt pulling 11 percent. But 40 percent of voters are still on the fence heading into the June 2nd primary. Celebs are all over this one. Megan McCain's calling it for Pratt on social media, while communities event Nicole Brown worries it'll drag the race off track. His own sister Stephanie's, sitting it out, saying he's great for their neighborhood, but not ready for a city of 4 million. Joe Rogan gave him a big nod on his podcast, saying he'd vote if he lived in L.A. Kristen Cavallari and Patty Stanger are backing him too, with Stanger hyping how he's already outraged Bass in funds.

This outsider bids shaking up L.A. politics, turning heads and testing if reality stars can flip the script on City Hall for real. This has been Durham News Today, powered by AI.
