Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt said he will move his family out of the city if he loses the June primary or November general election. Pratt, a former reality television personality, made the comments during an interview on The Adam Carolla Show. A clip from the interview circulated over the weekend.

Pratt said his experience with last year’s wildfires and the city’s response to them motivated his decision to run. He has highlighted those events in campaign advertisements. The candidate also referenced a lawsuit against city government and its Department of Water and Power. The suit alleges the department failed to maintain a water reservoir that could have helped prevent damage to his home.

Recent polling showed the leading candidate at 30 percent support, with Pratt in second place at 22 percent and another candidate at 19 percent. Pratt said he would rebuild his home if he wins the election. He stated he would not rebuild if the current leadership remains in place.
