The California Post is proud to endorse Spencer Pratt formayor of Los Angeles.

Pratt is a political newcomer who lost hisfamily home in the Palisades Fire.

He jumped into the race because he, like many other residents, became deeply frustrated with the exceedinglyslow pace of rebuilding.

Were it just for the fire, Pratt might merely be a protest vote. But he hasshowed a deep passion for LAand a strong grasp of the challenges the city faces.

Pragmatic Pratt is certainly the best candidate, given the incompetence and ideological idiocy of his opponents.

He has campaigned on the key issues that matter to Angelenos — the common-sense priorities of hard-working residents.

The persistent homelessness. The enduring threat of violent crime. The crumbling roads. The dry reservoirs. The constant tax hikes. The job cuts in Hollywood. The ongoing exodus of residents. And a continued culture of corruption at City Hall.

We have hadone-party rule in LA for a quarter of a century.

The last great mayor was Richard Riordan. Since then, we’ve gone from good to bad to worse. One-termer James Hahn, political climber Antonio Villaraigosa, incompetent Eric Garcetti, and now Karen Bass.
