Spencer Pratt Concedes Los Angeles Mayor Race, Says He Has Damaging Video of Another Candidate

Pratt’s concession follows his bid for mayor and includes a claim that he possesses video he says could be damaging to a rival.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Spencer Pratt conceded the Los Angeles mayoral race on June 12, according to a report from The Washington Times Politics, saying supporters should not “get rid of” him “that easily.” In his remarks, Pratt framed his candidacy as an effort to expose what he described as a “corrupt machine,” adding that “nothing has changed,” even after he acknowledged the race’s outcome.

Pratt’s concession came as he told supporters that he would not stop speaking after the election, and he asserted that he has “damaging video” involving another candidate. The report did not provide details about the video’s contents, when it was recorded, or whether it has been shared with election officials, law enforcement, or the courts.

The concession address is described as Pratt’s explanation of why he believes his candidacy remains relevant, despite his electoral outcome. Pratt reportedly characterized his decision to run as motivated by exposure rather than seeking political power, and he repeated the theme that the underlying issues he cited persist.

While Pratt’s remarks included an assertion about video evidence, the public record of any related filing, complaint, or submission to authorities was not included in the available reporting. The report also did not identify which candidate Pratt claimed the video involves or outline what steps, if any, he plans to take next.

Elections in Los Angeles are administered through the city’s and county’s established processes, including certification and post-election review procedures that apply regardless of the candidate’s claims. Without additional documentation, it remains unclear whether Pratt’s allegations have triggered any formal investigation or whether they are limited to statements made during his concession.

For voters, the immediate effect is that Pratt’s candidacy is concluded and the Los Angeles mayoral transition will proceed through the normal post-election steps. For the allegation regarding video, the next concrete developments would depend on whether Pratt makes a verified disclosure to relevant authorities and whether any agency, court, or election official takes action based on it.

Why It Matters

  • Pratt’s concession concludes his run for mayor, shifting attention to the formal post-election certification and transition process.
  • Pratt’s claim of “damaging video” raises questions about whether any allegations will be supported with verified materials and whether any authority will review them.
  • If Pratt provides video evidence to officials, it could prompt enforcement or legal proceedings depending on jurisdiction and the nature of the alleged conduct.
  • Absent public filings or official actions, the claim remains an allegation made in a concession context rather than a documented legal finding.
