Spencer Pratt said the burned Pacific Palisades lot "is where I live," arguing the Airstream, Hotel Bel-Air and his family's stay in Santa Barbara are all temporary after his house was destroyed.
TMZ had reported Pratt was not living in the trailer highlighted in campaign messaging but at Hotel Bel-Air; Pratt said security advisers told him not to stay in the Airstream after threats.
His campaign has centered on last year's Palisades fires and attacks on Mayor Karen Bass's response, turning the housing dispute into a broader argument about what he lost.
An Emerson poll of 350 voters put Bass at 30%, Pratt at 22% and Nithya Raman at 19% with less than three weeks before the primary, keeping Pratt in contention for a top-two finish.
Recent support has stretched beyond conservative media attention to donations from Haim and Cheryl Saban at $1,800 each, alongside contributors including Justine Bateman and the Winklevoss twins.
