Pratt courts Valley voters in Sherman Oaks as LA mayor bid heats up
TL;DR
Reality TV personality Spencer Pratt campaigned in Sherman Oaks, courting voters in a district represented by rival Nithya Raman as he runs for Los Angeles mayor. He pushes a tougher-law enforcement stance and a “treatment first” approach to homelessness, argues for expanding LAPD staffing, and criticizes city handling of crime and the Palisades wildfire recovery. The event drew residents frustrated with safety and quality-of-life issues; Pratt remains behind Mayor Karen Bass in polls but has shown fundraising momentum, with some attendees traveling from outside LA who cannot vote in the city.
