Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has received donations from some of Hollywood’s most prominent Democrat supporters despite running on a platform that leans heavily on conservative talking points.
It was revealed earlier this month that major Democrat donors Haim and Cheryl Saban, billionaires who have a major financial impact on the party, donated the maximum amount of $1,800 to Pratt. 
Nicole Avant, another prominent Democrat supporter and wife of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, has also pledged to support Pratt for mayor. So has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nba-champ-dunks-on-karen-bass-bets-on-spencer-pratt-to-win-la-mayoral-race">Jeanie Buss</a>, the Lakers’ minority owner and franchise governor, who also made the max donation of $1,800 to Pratt’s campaign.
As The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/business/dealbook/spencer-pratt-ceo-support.html">reported</a>, Elliot Grainge, the CEO of Atlantic Records and Sofia Richie&#8217;s husband, also made a donation to Pratt’s campaign. So did billionaire financier Dan Loeb and former CEO of Activision Blizzard Bobby Kotick; Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange and chairman of the New York Stock Exchange; and cryptocurrency entrepreneurs Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
The former reality star, a registered Republican who said he voted for Trump in 2024, has publicly stated that he doesn’t identify with either party.
“All my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats,” he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spencer-pratt-compares-fledgling-political-career-to-obama-national-rise/">told</a> CBS. “Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats.” 
The mayoral hopeful <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spencer-pratt-compares-fledgling-political-career-to-obama-national-rise/">told</a> NBC earlier this month, “I do not represent a party. I don’t have a campaign manager. I don’t have campaign consultants. There’s no political party backing me.”
The former &#8220;Hills&#8221; star is polling second behind Bass ahead of the June 2 primary. While Pratt’s odds of winning have increased dramatically in recent months, he still faces an uphill battle in the Democrat stronghold. The last time a Republican won a mayoral race in Los Angeles was in 1997.
Pratt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nba-champ-dunks-on-karen-bass-bets-on-spencer-pratt-to-win-la-mayoral-race">reportedly</a> raised $2.72 million between April 19 and May 16, per statements obtained by the Los Angeles Times, moving his total to $3.26 million in contributions. Mayor Bass reported only $283,000 during that same period, boosting her total to $3.13 million. As of May 16, Raman hasn&#8217;t hit the $1 million mark in contributions.
