‘The Hills’ Alum Spencer Pratt Currently Ranks 2nd Place in Race to Become Los Angeles Mayor

Spencer Pratt has become a strong contender in the race to become the mayor of Los Angeles.

According to a new poll released by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs on Friday, April 3, Spencer, 42, has jumped to second place in the survey of preferred candidates.

Incumbent mayor Karen Bass currently holds the most support from potential voters at 25 per cent while the reality TV star is right behind her at 11 per cent support.

Per the poll, city council member Nithya Raman is currently in third position, with 9 per cent support.

Meanwhile, 40 per cent voters are still undecided before the June 2 primary.

Us Weekly has reached out to Spencer for comment.

Spencer announced his political candidacy in January, one year after  he and his wife Heidi Montag lost their family’s home in the Palisades fires that devastated California.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt, 42, said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration on January 7, via the New York Post. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”
