Spencer Pratt

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Spencer will implement a streamlined chain of command that empowers first responders, cuts out middlemen, and gets resources to the front lines without delay. Transparency will mean real-time data and straight answers, ensuring families and businesses can make informed decisions. Infrastructure / Transportation He will launch an operational surge to restore a camera-ready Los Angeles: delivering fast, visible improvements across neighborhoods. That includes accelerated sidewalk repairs, restored street lighting, aggressive pothole filling, and rapid cleanup of graffiti and illegal dumping. Infrastructure / Transportation Recovery must be fast, focused, and fiscally sound. Spencer's post-crisis approach prioritizes regulatory relief, streamlining permitting and rebuilding so homeowners and small businesses aren't sidelined by excessive City Hall fees, delays, or paperwork. Housing Under a Treatment and Recovery First framework, resources will be redirected to mental health care, drug treatment, and stabilization services. Participation in treatment is a must for city- funded assistance, and long-term housing will be reserved for those demonstrating a stability and sobriety. Infrastructure / Transportation Spencer believes the condition of streets, sidewalks, and public spaces is the clearest measure of city leadership. For too long, Los Angeles has ignored basic maintenance while spending too much time and money on political symbolism. Taxes / Budget He will launch forensic performance audits to evaluate every major program against clear, measurable standards. If a program works, it gets strengthened. If it doesn't, it gets fixed—or it gets cut. Departments will no longer receive additional funding without proving real value to residents. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Spencer believes repeat offenders must be held accountable, its critical that we support prosecuting retail theft and organized criminal activity and enforce existing laws that protect neighborhood safety and quality of life. Officers will receive clear rules, clear backing, and clear expectations. LAPD senior leadership will be held accountable to measurable performance standards. Economy Spencer will champion policies that reduce red tape, eliminate unnecessary costs, and give entrepreneurs the freedom to grow and hire. Permitting and inspections will be made faster, predictable, and transparent, and the city will have to justify its regulations, not the small businesses. Environment / Energy He will push for a top-to-bottom audit of LADWP to eliminate waste, identify inefficiencies, and ensure every dollar collected serves the public. Spencer will champion responsible and financially effective energy policies, infrastructure hardening, and strengthened grid resilience to prevent blackouts and protect ratepayers. Any future rate increase must be tied to efficiency, transparency, and proof that LADWP is serving its customers, not its own bureaucracy. Housing For years, the Homeless Industrial Complex has prioritized process over outcomes, warehousing over treatment, and press releases over results. Spencer will dismantle that system and replace it with a treatment-led recovery model that addresses mental illness and addiction as the primary drivers of chronic homelessness. Taxes / Budget True preparedness demands resiliency, modernization, and leadership that cuts through bureaucracy. Spencer will conduct a comprehensive audit of the city's emergency infrastructure to eliminate waste and redirect resources toward critical equipment, technology, and systems that improve readiness and response once and for all. Environment / Energy LADWP has become a symbol of mismanagement, bloated administrative costs, and lack of transparency. LA ratepayers have been treated like a bottomless revenue stream for failed leadership and politically driven projects. Spencer will put residents first by demanding accountability and ending hidden charges buried in utility bills. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Los Angeles' public safety crisis is the result of political decisions that have undermined basic law enforcement and drained staffing levels. Spencer believes the first responsibility of city government is to keep people safe. He will reject extreme defund-style politics, prioritize frontline policing over administrative excess, and ensure the city can recruit and retain qualified officers. Taxes / Budget Spencer will enforce a back-to-basics budget that prioritizes and restores core services and stops the expansion of costly programs that lack clear results. Taxes / Budget Spencer will restore accountability by enforcing competitive bidding, ending automatic renewals and sweetheart deals, and putting taxpayers back in charge. Economy Spencer believes small businesses are the backbone of Los Angeles, yet City Hall treats them like an ATM, slowing growth with excessive fees, unpredictable regulations, and bureaucratic harassment.
