Labor-backed ad aims to push Pratt into L.A. mayoral runoff
TL;DR
A 30-second, union-funded attack ad against Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral primary is seen by analysts as a strategic move to boost Pratt with Republican voters and force a Bass–Pratt runoff, rather than harm Raman. The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor says the expenditure is independent of Bass, while Raman and Bass call the tactic cynical in a heavily Democratic race.
