The reality star is promising to keep the cameras rolling on his "First Family" to prove that he has nothing to hide.
Imagine if you could see exactly what your Mayor is doing every single day, from the breakfast table to the big city meetings.
WHAT HAPPENED
Spencer Pratt is running for Mayor of Los Angeles with a bold new idea: total transparency through television. He has reportedly signed a deal to film a reality show that follows his life and his family as they lead the city.
Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, want to show the world what it’s like to be the "First Family" of LA. If he wins, the cameras would follow them into the Getty House, which is the official mansion where the Mayor lives.
He says he wants to make the city "camera-ready" again. While most politicians work behind closed doors, Pratt believes that letting the public watch his daily life will make the government more honest and exciting for everyone.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS
- Boardwalk Pictures is the production team ready to document the new administration.
- 4 family members—Spencer, Heidi, and their two sons—would move into the official mansion.
- $500,000 has been raised by fans who want to see a non-politician in charge.
- January 7 was the day Pratt officially jumped into the race to help the city recover.
- June 2 is when voters get to decide if they want this new level of openness.
THE BIGGER QUESTION
Could a reality show actually be the best way to keep a politician honest? For a long time, people have felt that leaders hide too much from the public. Pratt is offering a different path where the "First Family" lives their lives in the open, letting the voters judge them in real-time.
THE OTHER SIDE
Some critics worry that a TV show might get in the way of serious work, but Pratt’s supporters disagree. They say that if a leader is always on camera, they can’t make backroom deals or break promises. It is a big change from how things are usually done, but for many, it feels more real than a standard press release.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW
Los Angeles voters are deciding right now if they are ready for a "First Family" that shares everything. If Pratt wins the primary on June 2, he will move one step closer to moving his family—and his film crew—into the Mayor’s mansion.
WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW
- How much of the city's daily business will be shown on the screen?
- Will the show help other cities learn how to be more open with their citizens?
- What kind of "behind-the-scenes" secrets will the cameras finally reveal?
