Television host Drew Carey has taken a public stance against Spencer Pratt’s campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. In a recent social media post, Carey urged residents to reconsider their support for Pratt, labeling him a ‘serial scammer’ and questioning his competence. Carey’s comments come as the city approaches its June primaries, where Pratt is challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
Pratt’s Campaign and Background
Spencer Pratt, known for his role in ‘The Hills,’ launched his mayoral campaign in January, motivated by his personal experience during the 2025 Palisades wildfire, which destroyed his home. Pratt, along with his wife Heidi Montag and other property owners, has filed a lawsuit against the city and the Department of Water and Power (LADWP), accusing them of negligence in managing the water supply during the fire.
Despite being a registered Republican, Pratt emphasizes his nonpartisan approach, stating, ‘There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians.’ His campaign has received attention from various political figures, including a nod from former President Donald Trump, who commented on Pratt’s character and the challenges of winning in California’s political climate.
Public and Political Reactions
Pratt’s campaign has sparked debate among Los Angeles residents and political observers. While some appreciate his call for change and his criticism of current city leadership, others, like Carey, remain skeptical of his qualifications and intentions. Pratt has been vocal about his vision for the city, urging residents to ‘think bigger for LA’ and promising to address issues like urban decline and corruption.
The upcoming primary election will determine whether Pratt advances to the November runoff, should no candidate secure a majority. As the election approaches, Pratt continues to campaign on a platform of reform and accountability, positioning himself as an outsider fed up with traditional politics.
