It's a fight to the finish in L.A.'s wild mayoral primary

An embattled mayor. A brainy democratic socialist. A reality TV star who has been a staple on TMZ.

The top three candidates for Los Angeles mayor — incumbent Karen Bass, Councilmember Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt of MTV’s “The Hills” — are fighting to secure an edge in Tuesday’s primary, capping one of the most unusual election seasons in city history.

L.A. voters have seen the arrival of AI campaign videos, an influx of dark money mailers and national media coverage from US Weekly, Vanity Fair and many other outlets, thanks in large part to Pratt.

Raman is neck and neck with Bass, with Pratt close on their heels, according to the most recent poll from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, which was co-sponsored by The Times.
