Spencer Pratt's "grassroots campaign" for LA mayor is being bankrolled from outside LA.
I analyzed public Ethics Commission data. Here's what it shows:
- 80% of his donors aren't from the city of LA
- 50% of all money raised ($1.6M of $3.2M) came from out-of-state: Texas (683), Florida (567), Arizona (340)
- 3,882 retired donors - the demographic fingerprint of the national MAGA/Fox News small-dollar machine
His policies read like a Heritage Foundation wishlist, the Angelenos in his ads are AI-generated, and his support online are from paid clippers.
This is a national MAGA operation running on local ballot lines.
Like potholes? Last year LA stopped repaving streets. In new research the Data/Dev team finds by 2036 under the City's current approach a majority of LA streets will be failed and we will have more than $15 billion in outstanding street maintenance.

Not even an exaggeration when I say that all sanitation workers should be paid an insane amount of money. The risks they take to keep our cities free from filth and disease??
We are launching a big project today with MIT —

Work began today in Griffith Park to reduce car lanes on the park's main north-south road, adding bike and pedestrian improvements. A park that's more welcoming to active users while further discouraging cut-through traffic. Thank you @nithyavraman for the leadership! Let's go LA
It's finally March, so now we need the most important news of the major league season: Will Panda Express keep its special for every time the Dodgers win at home? Let's hear it.
