Spencer Pratt's mayoral bid fuels union‑backed attack ad in Los Angeles race

Spencer Pratt Los Angeles mayoral race union‑funded attack ad Karen Bass runoff election

Reality‑TV personality Spencer Pratt has entered the Los Angeles mayoral contest, seeking to translate his media profile into a ballot spot and force a November runoff against incumbent candidate Karen Bass.

Labor unions that back Bass have financed a negative advertisement targeting Pratt. Analysts say the ad may be aimed at making Pratt a weaker opponent in a potential runoff, reasoning that he would be easier to defeat than rival candidate Raman.
