Spencer Pratt knows how to hustle in the realm of reality television and social media and now he's taking his talent all the way to the Los Angeles mayoral race.
The former star of The Hills was seen jostling for signatures on LA's Ventura Boulevard on Wednesday and made sure to include his wife Heidi Montag – on his shirt, that is.
Pratt, 42, sported a black T-shirt imprinted with an eye-catching photo of his wife striking a beauty queen pose in a sparkly tiara.
He managed to grab a few interested persons to the table and spoke with some of them, gesturing with his arms and plastering a big friendly smile on his face.
Pratt also took to his X account to share a video of himself in the parking lot and trying to be charming to passers-by on foot and in cars, saying he needed signatures and 'LA addresses' to get on the ballot and win the election on June 2.
'We're still here, 18065 Ventura Boulevard, pull up, come give a signature,' pleaded Pratt, whose sister Stephanie Pratt called his mayoral run 'a vote for stupidity.'

Pratt stopped mid-sentence to coax a motorist to pull over and add his moniker to the list, but was unsuccessful.
The TV personality announced his run for the LA mayor's office on January 7 during a They Let Us Burn! Protest in Pacific Palisades near the remains of Pratt and Montag's home in which they hoped to raise their two sons, Gunner, eight, and Ryker, three.
It marked the one-year anniversary of the devastating wildfires that killed at least 31 people and destroyed thousands of homes in Altadena and Pacific Palisades.
'On Jan. 7, 2025, Heidi and I lost our home. We lost every material possession we own. My parents lost their home too and, with it, decades of memories lost inside those walls,' Pratt told the crowd, adding that it was the 'worst day of my life,' per Fox News.
He said he grew up in the upscale neighborhood 'thinking that my two boys would grow up here just like I did with that same hometown feeling. Then, right before my eyes, that future that I envisioned burned to the ground.'
Pratt has voiced his outrage at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
He vented that the most 'heartbreaking' part of the ordeal was the 'realization that all of this was preventable.'
Pratt accused the state of letting 'brush grow wild' for decades and neglecting wildfire maintenance and creating a 'hostile environment' with insurance companies regarding wildfire recovery.

Montag has said they are unable to afford reconstructing their home and were now 'kind of displaced' (pictured with sons Gunner, eight, and Ryker, three in May 2025)
Montag recently told the news website Gold Derby that they were unable to afford reconstructing their residence and were now 'kind of displaced.'
'Unfortunately for rebuilding, we just don't have the finances. We barely could pay the mortgage on that house,' Montag said.
'We spent our whole careers to put a down payment on it. So we're unfortunately in a place where we aren't looking to rebuild and we're not really sure where to go. We're kind of displaced at the moment.
'A lot of the community is in the same position, and that's just unfortunate. People don't realize that a lot of people can't rebuild. A lot of families bought their houses 40 or 50 years ago when it was a much cheaper part of LA,' she maintained.
