Republican Spencer Pratt had his breakthrough on the television series "The Hills" and has since appeared in a number of reality shows, but in politics he has had a harder time.
Los Angeles has a majority of Democratic voters and Republicans make up less than 15 percent of the registered electorate.
On Tuesday night, local time in Sweden, it was also clear that Pratt had lost the primary election to Democrat Nithya Raman. She will face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.
