Spencer Pratt has issued an impassioned rallying call to supporters to encourage their friends, family and ”even strangers” out to vote for ”change in LA” ahead of Tuesday’s mayoral election.
Pratt also brutally shamed his challengers by sharing a video of a homeless man next to a ballot drop box — underscoring the role Mayor Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have played in failing to solve one of the biggest issues in the election.
“I don’t even need to make campaign ads anymore,” Pratt said on X. “Karen and Nithya just keep making them for me.”
”We know what my opponents will do – we’ve lived almost ten years of these two combined,” he said Sunday.
”If you vote for me, it’s just going to be a mandate to change. Enough is enough. I’m the one with compassion, no matter what these people tell you.
”I don’t want people dying on the streets, I don’t want our tax money going to needles, I want to get them in treatment, I want to get them help, I want to help their dogs.”
”If we change LA we will change the whole state. We can’t sit back.
The clip shows a man sleeping on the ground with trash littered on top and around the ballot drop box located at Will & Ariel Durant Branch Library in Hollywood.
Pratt has posted several other times Sunday to attack his Democratic rivals Nithya Raman and Karen Bass over their track record fighting homelessness and the mass exodus of the movie industry.
The reality TV star even poked fun at himself, saying “the only thing worse than The Hills is Nithya’s campaign.”
Social media has played a key role in Pratt gaining traction ahead of Tuesday’s primary, but the aspiring politician did acknowledge he “made a mistake” in his campaign that he wishes he could go back and fix.
“If I could go back in time, I would never have reposted an AI ad,” Pratt told the Wall Street Journal.
Pratt has shared several now viral AI videos ads throughout the course of his campaign, including one that featured him transforming into a Batman-like superhero taking on Bass who appeared looking like the Joker.
The mayoral candidate told the outlet he regrets reposting the videos, lamenting that it’s “given my opponents a great way to attack me, which they have not had too many other opportunities to do.”
“It’s like, lady, I’m fighting you because you let 12 of my neighbors burn alive. That’s dangerous,” Pratt said of Bass, who has condemned the videos.
“You let seven people die in the street every day. That’s dangerous. But now I have to defend myself for a video where a tomato hits you?”

With the election just a few days away, candidates are making a last-ditch effort to separate themselves from the pack and encourage people to get out in vote.
For Pratt, that means hammering issues like homelessness and the city’s affordability crisis — and it seems like the strategy is paying off.
The reality star has gained significant support in key pockets of Los Angeles, which could spell trouble for Bass, according to a new California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates released on Friday.
In the San Fernando Valley, where the media household income is about $92,000, Pratt leads with 39% of the vote, compared to 36% for Bass and 14% for Raman.
The region includes neighborhoods such as Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Sylmar, Northridge and Reseda.
Voters there identified homelessness as their most important issue, while Bass faces a crushing 68% job disapproval rating.
The poll shows a regional breakdown that reveals Pratt is doing the best in areas where dissatisfaction with Bass is the highest.
Pratt also holds a commanding lead on the Westside, where the median household income is $135,383, and in Harbor-area neighborhoods, where the median household income is $79,436, winning 35% support.
Bass and Raman are tied at 23% each.
The area includes Westwood, Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista, Palms, Venice, San Pedro, Wilmington and Harbor Gateway.
“It’s now or never. We have a once-in-lifetime chance to right the ship in LA, but people need to get off the internet and go vote,” Pratt told The Post during a campaign event in Baldwin Village on Saturday.
“I don’t want to hear anyone complain about druggies or vagrant fires or potholes if they haven’t voted. There’s no fate but what we make.”
Whether people heed that message and show up at the polls Tuesday remains to be seen.
