Spencer Pratt spent part of the final hours of his campaign shaking hands at an iconic chicken and waffles house before stopping to pray at one of Los Angeles’ oldest churches.
The mayoral hopeful started his day at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles, where he met with black community leaders and spent the morning talking with voters.
Several diners approached Pratt during the visit, thanking him for running for office, Pratt’s campaign told The California Post.
Pratt also visited Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church, better known as the Plaza Church.
The historic church sits across from Olvera Street at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, just a short walk from Los Angeles City Hall, and is widely considered the oldest church in the city.
Tuesday’s low-key schedule followed a similarly quiet Monday.
Pratt spent much of the day meeting privately with community groups and residents as he made a final push to learn more about the issues facing neighborhoods across Los Angeles.
“If you don’t vote, I don’t want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime or decline in LA again,” Pratt wrote on social media Tuesday. “Get off your butt and vote or enjoy what you get.”
“May God’s will be done,” his wife, Heidi Montag, posted on Election Day.
Pratt also delivered a dramatic closing message to voters in an interview with The California Post on Monday. “Los Angeles either votes for Pratt or it votes for death,” Pratt said. “The greatest city on Earth hangs in the balance.”
Throughout the race, Pratt has focused much of his outreach on communities that are not typically central stops on the campaign trail, including barbecues in South Los Angeles and another community gathering in Baldwin Hills over the weekend.
Pratt has repeatedly told supporters that many of his campaign events are designed to listen to residents and learn firsthand about the challenges facing their neighborhoods.
He has argued that Los Angeles is confronting multiple crises at once.
“Six people die every day on the streets. Dogs and cats are tortured to death on Skid Row. Thousands more are euthanized in city shelters. Seniors are burning alive in preventable wildfires,” Pratt told The Post. “The decline is a choice, and our city is on life support. It’s time to choose differently.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, 376,929 ballots had been returned. With approximately 2.2 million registered voters in Los Angeles, roughly 1.8 million ballots remained outstanding.
Democrats accounted for 59% of ballots returned, Republicans 20%, and voters with other party preferences or no party preference made up 21%.
Voters age 65 and older continue to lead turnout, accounting for approximately 45% of ballots cast. By comparison, voters ages 18 to 34 represent just 14% of ballots returned so far.
Republican participation is also running ahead of the last mayoral election.
Republicans account for 20% of ballots returned this year, compared with 14% at the same point in the 2022 election, a six-point increase.
