Spencer Pratt reveals he’s got cash flying in from across the US — and who it’s coming from
Spencer Pratt has revealed the huge wave of financial support he has received from across the US is from former Los Angeles residents who want to move back if he can fix the city.
“They’re trying to get me elected so they can move back. That’s what you are missing. These are actually former Angelenos,” Pratt told Fox News Thursday ahead of the June mayoral election.
“They got forced out of this city that Mayor Bass has destroyed, and that’s why they’re donating, because they want me to be mayor so they can move back,” the former “The Hills” star said.

“LA is incredible when you don’t let drug addicts take over the streets and make moms and kids scared to go to parks or schools. This is the truth,” the 42-year-old added.
Pratt has emerged as a fundraising powerhouse in the mayoral race, bringing in $2.72 million between April 19 and May 16 — nearly 10 times the $283,000 raised by Bass during the same period, according to campaign finance filings.
The former reality TV star has now raised more than $3.26 million overall, slightly surpassing Bass and far outpacing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who reported roughly $401,000 during the latest filing period.

Pratt is polling at 22% among likely voters in a new UC Berkeley–Los Angeles Times poll released Thursday, putting him within striking distance of frontrunners Bass and Raman.
The poll showed Bass at 26% and Raman at 25%, with the three leading candidates effectively clustered together in a race pollsters described as neck and neck.
Pratt has been gaining support from Hollywood, most recently from actor Dennis Quaid.
Quaid’s endorsement adds to what appears to be a growing wave of entertainment industry backing for Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral bid.
Other celebrities, including Katharine McPhee, Brody Jenner and James Woods, have also publicly supported Pratt.
