Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, known for his role on "The Hills," has announced his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles on the one-year anniversary of the devastating Palisades Fire that destroyed his home.
His campaign is driven by a passionate desire to hold city and state leaders, particularly Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, accountable for their perceived negligence in wildfire management and response.
At a rally filled with fire survivors and supporters, Pratt pledged to "expose the system," advocating for a thorough overhaul of local governance to ensure better preparedness for future disasters.
The Palisades Fire, one of California’s most catastrophic wildfires, claimed 31 lives and destroyed over 16,000 homes, leaving many residents in prolonged recovery, with fewer than a dozen homes rebuilt in the year since the disaster.
Pratt aims to leverage his celebrity status and social media following to energize his campaign, merging celebrity influence with grassroots advocacy for urgent change.
The anniversary event was marked by protests as survivors demanded accountability and more effective recovery efforts, underscoring the ongoing struggles faced by those affected by the wildfires.
