Audrina Patridge officially weighed in on the upcoming Los Angeles mayoral race on Saturday, May 2, 2026, throwing her support behind her former The Hills co-star, Spencer Pratt.
In a move that has surprised some longtime fans of the reality franchise, Patridge expressed confidence that Pratt would "deliver on his campaign promises" to revitalize the city.
She cited his deep-rooted connection to Los Angeles and his passion for local issues as the primary reasons for her endorsement.
After all, the endorsement comes as Spencer Pratt continues to position himself as a non-traditional candidate focused on the "Second Amendment" and bringing Hollywood production back to the city.
During her public statement, Audrina Patridge highlighted that despite their storied and often tumultuous history on television, she believes Pratt has the drive necessary to navigate the complexities of city hall.
She noted that his evolution over the years has shown a commitment to the community that often goes unseen by the general public.
Spencer Pratt’s campaign has heavily prioritized two main pillars: public safety and the economic revitalization of the entertainment industry.
He has criticized current leadership for allowing major productions to move out of Los Angeles to international locations.
Patridge echoed these sentiments, stating that a "pro-Hollywood" mayor is exactly what the city needs to maintain its status as the world's creative capital.
The campaign has also focused on constitutional rights, with Pratt openly stating that his personal voting history has often been guided by his support for the Second Amendment.
While his platform remains polarizing among the Los Angeles electorate, the backing of high-profile figures like Audrina Patridge aims to lend a sense of legitimacy to his "outsider" status.
Critics, however, remain skeptical of whether a background in reality television translates to effective civic governance.
