The Hills alum Spencer Pratt is shaking up the 2026 LA mayor contest after losing his home in the Palisades fire. He announced his run exactly one year later, calling out city leaders.
Spencer Pratt, who rose to fame as the villain on MTV’s The Hills, officially launched his campaign for Los Angeles mayor on January 7, 2026. The former reality star cited the destruction of his Pacific Palisades home in the 2025 wildfires as the spark. “I have realized that the city I love is being managed into the ground by people who don’t have the courage to actually lead,” he declared. Pratt, a registered Republican running against incumbent Karen Bass and councilmember Nithya Raman, is positioning himself as an outsider. He’s zeroed in on wildfire recovery, homelessness, and crime, even calling for more LAPD funding and armed school officers. His outspoken takes on gun rights and viral AI campaign videos keep him trending. The dad of two with Heidi Montag—sons Gunner and Ryker—hasn’t let the spotlight dim since their 2008 Mexico elopement. Now he’s trading tabloid drama for political heat. Will Speidi’s next chapter be City Hall or just another reality plot twist?
