前真人秀明星斯宾塞·普拉特表示，尽管没有从政经验，但他认为自己可以在洛杉矶市长竞选中“撼动市政厅”。
“我或许没有从政经验，但我有常识判断出这套体制行不通，”普拉特在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻独家专访时说道。
这位42岁的注册共和党人于2000年代中期因在MTV热门剧集《好莱坞女孩》中饰演常驻反派而声名鹊起。
目前他在这座美国第二大城市的市长竞选中支持率排名第二。
洛杉矶自2001年以来就未曾有过共和党籍市长。理查德·里奥丹于1993年当选，并连任两届。
“要说服像洛杉矶这样的深蓝城市，不仅要接纳一名政坛新人，还要接纳一个几乎与唐纳德·特朗普和共和党站在一起的人，这条路会很难走，”《政客》杂志加州分社社长梅兰妮·梅森说道。
但普拉特认为他可以“改变洛杉矶的政治格局”。
“幸运的是，我在洛杉矶的所有支持者都是民主党人，”这位南加州本地人说道。“我只想修缮我们的街道，让路灯亮起来。我希望人们能有安全感。”
普拉特表示，他“原本并不想参选市长”，但去年他的家园在破坏性极强的帕利塞兹大火中被毁后，想法发生了改变。
“我必须站出来，这样我的儿子们有朝一日能够……回到这里，住在我曾经生活过的洛杉矶——那个美丽又安全的洛杉矶，”他说。“我正站在因政客失职而酿成的灾难现场。”
现任市长凯伦·巴斯因应对洛杉矶火灾的举措饱受批评。
今年1月，也就是火灾发生一年后，这位民主党籍市长表示：“目前已有超过400套住房正在建设中，还有超过800套住房获批建造，对此我感到欣慰。”
周三，巴斯与普拉特以及洛杉矶市议会成员、市长候选人尼提亚·拉曼展开了一场激烈的辩论。
本次无党派市长选举将于6月2日举行。若没有候选人获得多数选票，得票领先的两名候选人将进入11月3日的决选。
普拉特在《好莱坞女孩》中常被指控刻意制造戏剧冲突，他表示，在提出改善洛杉矶的执政纲领时，选民会知道他是真诚的。
“大家都知道，我在真人秀里当反派是为了拿片酬，那是策略性的。我当时在和制片方合作，”他说。“这次我为了赢得选举、拯救洛杉矶确实在动用策略，但当你站在被烧毁的小镇的拖车里时，你装不出来那种真实感。”

Ex-reality star turned LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt wants to “shake up city hall”

Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt said he thinks he can “shake up city hall” as he runs for mayor in Los Angeles with no prior political experience.
“I may not have the experience, but I have the common sense to say this is not working,” Pratt told CBS News in an exclusive interview.
The 42-year-old, a registered Republican, first made a name for himself as the resident villain on MTV’s hit show “The Hills” in the mid-2000s.
He’s now polling second in the mayoral race for the second-largest city in the U.S.
Los Angeles has not had a Republican mayor since 2001. Richard Riordan was elected in 1993 and served two terms.
“It’s going to be a hard road to convince a very blue city like L.A. to take a chance on not only a novice politician, but somebody who has pretty much aligned himself with Donald Trump and with Republicans,” said Melanie Mason, Politico’s California bureau chief.
But Pratt thinks he can “change the political landscape” of L.A.
“Thankfully all my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats,” the Southern California native said. “I just want to fix our streets, get the lights on. I want people to feel safe.”
Pratt said he “didn’t want to run for mayor,” but that changed last year when he lost his home to the devastating Palisades Fire.
“I had to step up so that my sons one day can … come back here and live in the L.A. that I lived in — beautiful, safe,” he said. “I’m standing in what happened because of failed politicians.”
Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass was heavily criticized for her response to the Los Angeles fires.
In January, one year after the fire, the Democratic mayor said, “I feel good that there’s over 400 homes that are under construction now, that there’s over 800 homes approved to be built.”
Bass faced off in a heated debate against Pratt and Los Angeles City Councilmember and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman on Wednesday.
The mayoral election, which is nonpartisan, will take place on June 2. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, then the two leading candidates will advance to a Nov. 3 runoff.
Pratt, who was often accused of being intentionally dramatic on “The Hills,” said voters will know he’s being authentic when it comes to his platform for improving L.A.
“People know when I was a reality villain, I was doing it to get paid. It was strategic. I was working with producers,” he said. “I’m being very strategic to win and save L.A., but there’s no strategy when you’re standing in an Airstream on your burned out town. You can’t fake that.”
