Mayoral Hopeful Has Hustled Since L.A. Fires

Key Points:

• Spencer Pratt, known from MTV's "The Hills," is currently running for mayor of Los Angeles and has attempted to distance himself from his reality TV past, calling it "20 years ago."
• TMZ reported that Pratt plans to document his mayoral campaign and potential time in office as a reality show, but his publicist strongly denied any current contracts or filming, leaving open the possibility of future developments.
• Pratt’s previous plans for a Hulu show about his family’s recovery from a wildfire have been shelved, but he and wife Heidi Montag continue to earn significant income from sponsorships and branded content through their company, Pratt Productions.
• Filming a reality show during Pratt’s mayoral term could conflict with L.A. City Charter rules that prohibit officeholders from receiving outside compensation, as holding public office is considered a full-time job.
• While Pratt would be restricted from outside earnings as mayor, Montag and their children could still participate in media projects, and TMZ indicated the family would be a major part of any potential show, though the immediate focus remains on the election.
