Spencer Pratt Will ‘Be Done’ Living in L.A. If He Loses Mayoral Race

Spencer Pratt plans to leave Los Angeles if he loses the city’s mayoral race.

“I’m going to win the lawsuit against Gavin Newsom’s state park, and with that money, if I’m the mayor of Los Angeles, I will rebuild,” Pratt, 42, told comedian Adam Carolla in a video shared via social media on Saturday, May 16. “If Karen Bass gets reelected or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in L.A.”

He continued, “I’ll take that money from the Newsom state park and the LADWP [Los Angeles Department of Water and Power], and I’ll go somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies, and I can have the last American dream somewhere.”

Pratt made it clear that he will “not rebuild” if anyone else is running the city.

“What would I be putting money into?” he wondered.

Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag (with whom he shares sons Gunnar, 8, and Ryker, 3), along with several other L.A. property owners, have launched a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and the LADWP in the aftermath of the January 2025 Palisades Fire. The wildfire left Pratt and Montag displaced after their house burned down.

Pratt announced his mayoral bid this past January while attending the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration, one year after the Palisades Fire.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said. “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.”

He added, “Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action. This just isn’t a campaign; this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”

Pratt spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about his plans to run for mayor after announcing his candidacy.

“The only way I see God letting my parents’ house burn down and my house burn down is that God knows it’s the only way to turn me against a system that lets this happen to tens of thousands of people,” Pratt said in his January cover story. “In a best-case scenario, I would have helped at least 10,000 people to get 70 percent of what they got taken from them. That would be poetic.”

The Hills alum added, “Winning the mayor’s race will be a victory for truth and transparency, which is what I’ve been fighting for this whole year. The end goal is the same: to shine a light into the darkness.”
