Spencer Pratt

Reality-television personality known for MTV's "The Hills" who became a vocal advocate for Palisades wildfire victims after his own home was destroyed in the January 2025 fire. He sued the City of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power over the fire response and announced his mayoral campaign on January 7, 2026, the one-year anniversary of the blaze. Running as an outsider sharply critical of City Hall's emergency management, he polled second in a May 2026 Emerson College survey, ahead of Councilmember Nithya Raman. Thrive LA endorses him jointly with Mayor Bass to keep the strongest non-DSA options advancing through the primary.
