Audrina Patridge voiced support for Spencer Pratt as he runs for mayor of Los Angeles.
“I’m actually excited,” Patridge stated at the Leading Hotels of the World accreditation celebration on May 1.

Pratt, who announced his mayoral campaign on January 7, seeks to address what he describes as a “fundamentally broken” political system in Los Angeles.
During the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration, he emphasized the need for real action, stating, “Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles.”
Pratt faces 13 challengers in the race, including incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. His campaign has stirred controversy, particularly after he filmed an advertisement outside the homes of his opponents. Bass criticized Pratt’s approach, suggesting he was mimicking former President Donald Trump’s tactics.
“This is his best Trump impression,” she remarked.
Despite the backlash, Pratt’s campaign appears to gain momentum, with increased financial support and endorsements from high-profile figures like former Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. Political commentator Meghan McCain predicts that Pratt could win the mayoral race.
The star's campaign has sparked both support and criticism, including backlash from current mayor Karen Bass.
However, not everyone in Pratt’s circle supports his political ambitions. His sister, Stephanie Pratt, has openly condemned his candidacy, labeling him as “unqualified” and “inexperienced.”
Kristin Cavallari, another reality star, weighed in on the situation, calling Spencer a “f------ genius” for entering the political arena. She also expressed concern about the qualifications needed for mayor.
In a statement, Spencer articulated his vision for the future, saying, “Winning the mayor’s race will be a victory for truth and transparency.”
