Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt<\/a> is living in Santa Barbara County after losing his home in the Palisades Fire, leading some critics to question his eligibility to run for office in L.A.<\/p>\n

The City Clerk’s Office says candidates were required to be registered to vote in L.A. and be residents of the city by Jan. 3, according to a report from the L.A. Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pratt says he has been living at his father’s rental home in Carpinteria, about 12 miles south of Santa Barbara, but his burned-out lot is still his legal residence.<\/p>\n

According to the L.A. Times report, Pratt and his wife, reality star and singer Heidi Pratt, both listed a Carpinteria address linked to Pratt’s parents on their voter registrations. Pratt listed it as his mailing address, while Heidi listed it as her mailing address and residence.<\/p>\n

In a video posted to social media<\/a> on Monday, Pratt said he decided to run for mayor three months ago and wasn’t thinking about what zip code he needed to stay in in order to run for mayor.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t thinking, ‘I really need to make sure I stay in this ZIP Code in case I run for mayor,'” he said in the video.<\/p>\n

He added that he moved a trailer onto his Palisades lot and is waiting for it to be connected to power.<\/p>\n

Pratt announced his run for L.A. mayor on the anniversary of the Palisades Fire in January, which destroyed his home. He is running his campaign with a focus on criticizing the city government’s response to the fire that destroyed his home.<\/p>\n

He rose to fame in 2007 when he began dating “The Hills” cast member Heidi Montag, and eventually became a regular on the series. The couple married the following year, and they have two children.<\/p>\n

The couple has also appeared on shows including “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” and the British version of “Celebrity Big Brother.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is living in Santa Barbara County after losing his home in the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":712770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,296609,296608,2961,224,5337,296610,47667,17254,31399,62950,190258],"class_list":{"0":"post-712769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-city-clerk39s-office","11":"tag-heidi-pratt","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-losangeles","15":"tag-mailing-address","16":"tag-mayoral-candidate","17":"tag-palisades-fire","18":"tag-santa-barbara","19":"tag-santa-barbara-county","20":"tag-spencer-pratt"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116367761675496594","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=712769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/712770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
