Spencer Pratt's Residency Raises Questions in L.A. Mayoral Race
Spencer Pratt, a candidate in the Los Angeles mayoral race, is facing scrutiny over his residency status following the destruction of his home in the Palisades fire last year. Pratt has been living in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, at a rental home owned by his father, which has raised questions about his eligibility to run for mayor in Los Angeles. According to the city clerk's office, candidates must be registered to vote in L.A. and reside in the city by January 3 to qualify for the election. Pratt has acknowledged living outside Los Angeles but maintains that his burned-out lot in the Palisades remains his legal residence. This situation has drawn comparisons to past residency issues faced by other L.A. politicians.
