Spencer Pratt put on a brave face Monday as the reality TV star was photographed breaking cover for the first time since Nithya Raman overtook him in the Los Angeles mayoral race.
The former Hills star appeared unfazed by the latest political setback as he stepped out in a black “HEIDIWOOD” T-shirt promoting wife Heidi Montag’s music, paired with black shorts, sneakers and a baseball cap.
Photos showed Pratt walking through a parking lot and carrying a bag in Carpinteria — a ritzy Santa Barbara enclave. While one image captured him looking contemplative, another showed him smiling as he made his way across the lot.
The sighting comes at a pivotal moment in the race after Raman moved ahead of Pratt for the first time, marking a key moment in one of the city’s most unusual mayoral contests.
Pratt’s underdog campaign has drawn attention well beyond Los Angeles, with the reality TV star leveraging his fame and social media reach to rally a growing community of supporters.
His outspoken posts on local issues and his willingness to challenge establishment politicians have helped turn what many saw as a publicity stunt into a campaign that is generating genuine interest among voters.
Raman, who represents Los Angeles’ 4th District on the City Council, has focused her campaign on issues including housing, homelessness and city services, and now appears to be gaining ground as the race begins to take shape.
Pratt spoke out Monday morning, issuing a bold rallying cry to his supporters after losing his second-place lead in the Los Angeles mayor’s election to Nithya Raman.
“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference. There’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next three weeks to count!” Pratt said.
“Let’s git-r-dun!” he added.
As of now, Bass holds nearly 35% of the vote, Pratt 26.7%, and Raman 27.1%. With roughly 148,000 ballots left to be counted, the results could still shift either way.
And Pratt’s latest appearance signals he has no intention of leaving the spotlight or bowing out of the race anytime soon.
