A surprising mayoral contest is unfolding in Los Angeles, where reality television personality Spencer Pratt is mounting an insurgent campaign against incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass. The race sees all three candidates, including progressive city council member Nithya Raman, clustered tightly.
Pratt, addressing applauding supporters at a recent block party, declared, "We can’t give up on LA. We’ve got to fight." His challenge comes as Mayor Bass navigates a shaky first term in the heavily Democratic city of Los Angeles.
