(Los Angeles, California) – Spencer Pratt is making homelessness, drugs and public safety central to his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.
The former reality TV star is taking direct aim at city leaders, arguing that residents are tired of watching encampments grow while politicians spend huge sums of money with little visible improvement. His message is focused on restoring order to sidewalks, parks, schools and neighborhoods.
Pratt is calling for a tougher approach to open drug use, fentanyl and encampments in public spaces. Supporters say he is saying what many Angelenos already believe but rarely hear from elected officials.
Critics are likely to argue that homelessness cannot be solved through enforcement alone and requires housing, treatment and mental-health services. But Pratt is betting that voters are frustrated enough to support a much more aggressive approach.
His campaign is turning celebrity name recognition into a direct challenge against Los Angeles’ political establishment.
