Pratt said on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” that, if elected Los Angeles mayor, he would enforce bans on smoking and drug use around children in parks, schools and daycare areas.
The reality-TV figure framed that pledge as part of a public-safety platform centered on lights, potholes, crime, homelessness and street conditions rather than broader policy debates such as solar power.
Maher challenged Pratt’s readiness for office, saying a mayor would have to master more issues and warning that California’s regulation-heavy system and powerful special interests would constrain him.
California already bars cannabis use in public places and within 1,000 feet of schools, daycare centers or youth centers while children are present, giving Pratt’s message a law-and-enforcement focus.
Tuesday’s nonpartisan primary will send the top 2 finishers to a later runoff unless one candidate wins an outright majority.
