Spencer Pratt's campaign for mayor of Los Angeles has concluded, with him finishing third in the primary election held on June 2, 2026. According to the Associated Press, with approximately 98% of the votes counted, Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman advanced to the general election, receiving about 34.3% and 29% of the votes, respectively, while Pratt garnered 25.5%. Pratt's campaign focused on issues such as recovery from the Palisades fire and government accountability, drawing attention to concerns among voters who felt neglected by local authorities.

Pratt, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, used this personal experience to connect with constituents. Despite his efforts, his message did not resonate with enough voters to secure a place in the general election. Political analysts suggest that Pratt's next steps could involve continued advocacy, media opportunities, or potential involvement in future political endeavors. Experts noted that his response to the campaign's end will be crucial in determining his future role in Los Angeles politics. Some believe he may find more success in media rather than public office, given the nature of his campaign and public persona.
