Former The Hills star Stephanie Pratt is refusing to endorse her brother, Spencer Pratt, in his bid for Los Angeles mayor.
“Spencer has done great work for the palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie, 39, wrote via X on Saturday, February 14, referring to her brother’s outspoken advocacy in the wake of the deadly January 2026 wildfires that decimated parts of Los Angeles and the surrounding area.
“A vote for him is a vote for stupidity,” Stephanie continued, before issuing a series of follow-up tweets explaining why she is not endorsing her brother, 42, for L.A. mayor.
“He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be fooled,” she wrote. “In an ideal world the palisades would have their own mayor and police department. I would love [for] him to be mayor of [the] Palisades but not LA with 4 million people. I’d be impressed if a republican could turn LA democrats thb.”
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and its Department of Water and Power (LADWP) following the destruction of their home in the Palisades wildfire. Spencer, 41, and Heidi, 38, were among nearly two dozen plaintiffs – which also included Spencer’s mother Janet Pratt – in the lawsuit […]
She added, “At least hire someone with work experience who wasn’t in a cult. I’m WORRIED about LA. I have no problem with Spencer playing government but our city needs help.”
Spencer announced his candidacy for mayor on January 7, 2026 – the one-year anniversary of the devastating California wildfires, which killed 12 people and burned more than 6,800 homes near and around the Pacific Palisades.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration, per the New York Post, a “peaceful, non-partisan public demonstration calling for accountability, transparency and meaningful reform in wildfire preparedness, emergency response, insurance recovery and environmental cleanup.”
“It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action,” Pratt continued. “That’s why I am running for mayor. And let me be clear, this just isn’t a campaign, this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”
According to Politico, Spencer declined to take questions after he spoke at the rally, but showed a reporter photos of himself signing official campaign paperwork to confirm his run for office.

Although fans met Spencer during his time on MTV’s hit reality show The Hills, his focus in the past year has turned away from reality TV and onto politics and fire recovery in the neighborhood where he was raising his children alongside his wife, Heidi Montag.
It’s been nearly two decades since Spencer Pratt was introduced to (or unleashed on) the world, as Brody Jenner’s best friend via Fox’s short-lived Princes of Malibu, a reality show that L.A. native Pratt had developed and sold in his early 20s. Two years later, in 2007, Pratt and Jenner infiltrated season 2 of MTV’s […]
His Instagram and TikTok are primarily focused on investigating what caused the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. He has become an outspoken critic of current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Montag and Spencer share two kids, Gunner and Ryker. In January 2025, Montag and Spencer lost their home in the Los Angeles wildfires. “I just really want to go home,” Heidi said through tears in a TikTok video. “I’m so homesick.”
