This year’s mayoral election will apparently decide whether candidate Spencer Pratt will continue to call the city of Los Angeles his home.
The former reality TV star, whose campaign has won the praise of Republicans nationwide, said he will leave the city if he loses the June primary or November general election.

“If Karen Bass gets reelected or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in LA,” he told The Adam Carolla Show in a clip circulated this weekend, referencing his Democratic rivals Mayor Bass and city Councilmember Raman.
If he does move, he said, he’s going to use the money that he claims he will win from his lawsuit against city government and its Department of Water and Power for failing to properly maintain a water reservoir. That reservoir, the lawsuit alleges, would have helped stop Pratt’s home from burning down in last year’s devastating wildfires.

“I’ll go find somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies, and I can have the last American dream somewhere,” he said, referring to the city’s homelessness and drug crisis.
“I will not rebuild if these people are in charge,” he said of his Democratic competitors. “Because what would I be putting money into?”

If he does win, Pratt said he would rebuild his burned-down home.
Pratt has said his experience with the wildfires and the city’s alleged failed leadership was a big motivator behind his decision to run. He’s campaigned heavily on that experience, including a viral ad showcasing his living situation compared to that of Bass and Raman.
He has since been reported to be residing at a hotel, while the ad claimed an airstream trailer was his living situation.
His recent comments about leaving Los Angeles could give ammunition to his opponents, who may say he is not committed enough to the city.
The latest poll has Bass comfortably leading at 30%, but Pratt has seen a surge from undecided voters to land him in second place with 22% of voters. Raman had 19% of voters.
