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.
