Spencer Pratt is saying goodbye to reality TV and hello to politics.
Exactly one year after a wildfire burned down his family’s home in Pacific Palisades, California, Pratt announced that he was running for mayor of Los Angeles.
“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration on January 7, 2026. “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.”
He continued, “This just isn’t a campaign; this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”
In April 2026, a UCLA Luskin poll showed current Mayor Karen Bass was leading the race at 25 percent, followed by Pratt at 11 percent. At the same time, the poll stated 40 percent of voters remained undecided ahead of the June 2, 2026, primary.
As the race continues, Us Weekly is breaking down what celebrities are saying about Pratt’s run for political office. See who could vote for the Hills alum and who publicly opposes his latest career ambitions.
Meghan McCain
The former View panelist shared her prediction for Pratt’s candidacy on social media without revealing who she would hypothetically vote for.
“I’m telling you this guy is going to win,” McCain, who lives outside California, wrote via X on April 29, 2026, when showcasing one of Pratt’s campaign ads against Bass.
Following a mayoral debate on May 6, 2026, McCain suggested that Pratt was the “blueprint” for all politicians of her age group.
“This is not hyperbole – @spencerpratt is the blueprint for how my generation of older millennials needs to communicate and present their ideas and campaign messaging when running for office,” she tweeted. “He is 10/10 no notes. Absolute raw talent. Killed the debate.”
James Woods
The Casino star had compliments for Pratt following a mayoral debate on May 6.
“Spencer Pratt is surprisingly effective, direct, polite, and prepared in tonight’s debate,” Woods tweeted. “The other two have history as their enemy because everything they’ve done has been a catastrophe. He can absolutely win this thing.”
Yvette Nicole Brown
The Community actress expressed concerns that Pratt could pull ahead in the Los Angeles race for mayor.
“This nation is unserious and has learned nothing. 💔,” Brown wrote via Threads on April 24, 2026, seemingly referring to President Donald Trump, a former reality TV star-turned-politician.
Stephanie Pratt
Spencer’s sister said she will not be endorsing her family member for mayor of Los Angeles.
“Spencer has done great work for the Palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie wrote via X on February 14, 2026. “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity. He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be fooled. In an ideal world, the Palisades would have their own mayor and police department. I would love [for] him to be mayor of [the] Palisades but not LA with 4 million people. I’d be impressed if a republican could turn LA democrats thb.”
Joe Rogan
“Listen, man, I’m voting for you,” Rogan told Pratt during the April 15, 2026, episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
While the podcast host later clarified that he lives in Texas, Rogan added, “I mean, if I lived in Los Angeles, no question whatsoever, I would vote for you.”
Kristin Cavallari
Although she currently lives in Tennessee, Cavallari couldn’t help but express her support for Pratt’s political ambitions.
“This is more The Hills, but coming off of Laguna [Beach], I had a lot of people say, ‘Talk about Spencer running for mayor.’ So you know what? Let’s talk about it,” Cavallari said during the April 21, 2026, episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “I think Spencer running for mayor is f***ing genius. Because I think everyone in politics — I don’t care what side you’re on — everyone is corrupt.”
She continued, “To get to that level, you have to play their game. It’s all an agenda, and I think their goal is to keep all of us divided. They want us fighting, and that’s why I don’t buy into any of it.”
Patti Stanger
The Millionaire Matchmaker star has expressed her support for Pratt on social media.
“Here we go CA,” she wrote via X on April 24, 2026, when sharing an article that revealed Pratt has raised more money than Bass in the race for mayor. “It’s time to go red with @spencerpratt @SteveHiltonx ca is done with this crooked woke s***!”
She threw her support behind Pratt again in a May 4, 2026, X post. “I know @spencerpratt personally and he’s not only a great guy but a smart one! Only once [sic] choice la or we are donned [sic]! Spencer will lead us out of this s*** hole!” she wrote.
Johnny Bananas
The Challenge veteran threw his support behind Pratt with a short social media post.
“That’s my mayor 🤘,” he wrote via X on April 30, 2026, while sharing a link to one of Pratt’s political ads.
Audrina Patridge
Pratt’s former Hills costar said she is rooting for the Los Angeles resident as he runs for mayor.
“He’s very smart. He knew how to work reality TV. I know politics is very different — but I mean, he seems very intelligent and is well educated on what he needs to do,” she exclusively told Us Weekly on May 1, 2026. “I’m actually excited. He impressed me.”
While Patridge lives in Orange County, California, and can’t vote in the L.A. mayoral election,, she proudly threw her support behind her former costar.
“He impressed me. I listened to some of his interviews, and at first when I heard, I was like, ‘Wait, is he really doing it? Is it a joke? Is it real?’” she shared. “But he is, and he is very intelligent, and I think that he would make a lot of change to L.A. and he would follow through with what he said.”
Jonathan “FoodGod” Cheban
“From what I’m hearing, L.A. is literally getting a little bit of a heartbeat back. There’s only one chance to save L.A. and one person: Spencer Pratt,” FoodGod said via Instagram on May 4, 2026. “Just because he’s a reality star does not mean he can’t be mayor. Reality stars become billionaires. Reality stars become doctors. They’re very smart.”
The Kardashians star continued, “If you want to save L.A., you got to vote for Spencer Pratt ASAP.”
Jax Taylor
“This race has nothing to do with politics for me,” the Valley alum wrote via X on May 6, 2026. “It has to do with cleaning up this absolute s*** hole of a city I live [in] and making it safe again for our children and our community because right now its [sic] a very scary unsafe for people to live. @spencerpratt.”
