Spencer Pratt (born August 14, 1983) is an American television personality and politician. He is best known from the MTVs series The Hills. He unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Los Angeles in 2026.

Pratt and Heidi Montag were housemates in the January 2013 series of Celebrity Big Brother (UK).

Politics

After his home in Pacific Palisades was destroyed in the Palisades Fire in January 2025, he sued the city of Los Angeles and pushed for an investigation into California Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass.

2026 Los Angeles mayoral election

A year after the fire, he said he would run for mayor of Los Angeles in 2026. He entered as a Republican in the non-partisan race. His policy positions included more funding for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), taling homelessness funding from current programs and using it for mandatory treatment and enforcement, and cracking down on street takeovers.

On election night, Pratt initially led third-place candidate Nithya Raman by more than eight percentage points. However, after a large number of mail ballots came in, the race remained too close to call. Raman beat Pratt for second place seven days later. Pratt said that Raman had gotten more votes because of homeless people. Other right-wing figures, including Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, claimed in interviews that results were because of election fraud. On June 8, Raman advanced to the runoff, meaning Pratt had lost the election.
