Spencer Pratt stuns LA by surging past Nithya Raman in mayoral race

Spencer Pratt has taken an early lead over Councilmember Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral primary.
Early results show Pratt ahead of Raman and closely trailing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in a tightly clustered three-way contest.
