$3.75 million raised by May 27 made Spencer Pratt a fundraising force in the Los Angeles mayoral race, but only 17% of his individual donors live within city limits.
A New York Times review of Los Angeles Ethics Commission filings found roughly $750,000 of Pratt's haul came from city residents, with the rest driven by out-of-town contributors.
Pratt's campaign has built national attention through TV appearances and viral AI videos, a strategy that contrasts with rivals Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.
Bass drew about 50% of her individual donors from Los Angeles and Raman about 68%; both also joined the city's matching-funds program, while Pratt opted out.
