Most people don't actually have a good grasp of what is City of LA and what isn't. So if Spencer Pratt wins, here is where he will be mayor and here is where he won't...
Hollywood - part of LA city
West Hollywood - separate city
Beverly Hills - separate city
...

The San Fernando Valley - mostly part of LA City, but San Fernando is NOT part of LA city, it is its own city
Culver City - separate city
Santa Monica - separate city
Marina Del Rey - unincorporated
San Pedro - part of LA City
Burbank, Glendale - separate cities
...

East Los Angeles - unincorporated
Harbor Gateway (0.5 mile wide by 8 mile long strip of land connecting San Pedro to central LA) - part of LA city
It's not always clear who can vote for LA Mayor and who cannot, as the borders of LA City are extremely irregular.

The only candidate who acknowledged the injured SFPD officer - the other candidates are too narcissistic, self-absorbed, and disdainful of law enforcement to even give it a thought.
Prayers for our officers. 🙏🙏🙏
Especially the brave officer shot multiple times last night. 🙏

Like a whack-a-mole, she keeps popping up running for office, any office, that's available. Her platform? Fighting Trump. Which is not a platform, especially for Insurance Commissioner, a job i can assure you she knows nothing about. @WolffOnYourSide is much more qualified!
I'm grateful for the support of the California Armenian American Democrats as we fight for affordable, available insurance for all Californians!

YIMBYs who would give up essential law and order for a little more housing deserve neither.

Critical thinking is lost. 3/4 congress candidates receive their talking points from the same source, and are competing to repeat them louder. ICE is removing criminals, but Scott Wiener in an act of vanity is making it about himself and the LGBT community he claims to represent.
As we enter Pride Month, we recommit to fighting for our community & against the extremists who want us to disappear. We’re not going anywhere. And we’re gonna have an amazing month while we’re at it!

It may surprise you to learn that, while I think building more housing is important, it's not the most important issue to me right now.
Also, if building more housing *is* the most important issue to you, you should know that the leftward lurch of LA local politics (both in policy and in vibes) is doing more to constrain production than zoning is.

LA friends—you may not like it or realize it, but this is your YIMBY Godking.
You want 100k new housing units?
Start by cleaning up the 50-block zombie wasteland that is Skid Row.
Once you clean up that mess & places like it, people can actually start living there affordably.

The current Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is a career politician who has taken thousands of dollars in corporate gifts while in office. My opponents are career politicians who have taken thousands of dollars in corporate gifts while in office. I'll never take a dime in corporate gifts. As Insurance Commissioner, I'll be a Wolff on your side.

Giving Scott credit for closing this loophole is like giving an arsonist credit for calling 911.

Urbanists make a huge mistake supporting Wiener “because he helps build homes”.
For cities to be successful many policies, like public order and basic safety, are equally required. He only gets one of many critical policies right.
He’s no savior for San Francisco.

Honestly, the whole San Francisco City Charter needs to be scrapped and rewritten from scratch.

San Francisco's Insider Class wanted Chesa Boudin, Harm Reduction, to eliminate algebra and defund the police.
When we fought the Insider Class, we won. Now they are fighting me because I will fight the harmful policies you hate in Congress. Join me.

The Spencer Pratt campaign is significant because his campaign is a masterclass in connecting with voters. It is more apparent that spontaneity and authenticity are more impactful than politicians who hide behind a wall of strategists and policies formulated from what polls well.
