Pratt announced his candidacy on January 7, the first anniversary of the Palisades and Altadena wildfires that killed 12 people. He stated that the Los Angeles government system is "broken" and designed to protect those at the top. A representative for Spencer Pratt did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
