Former reality star and mayoral candidate, Spencer Pratt, is taking his vast TV knowledge to call out his opponents for destroying California's crown economic jewel.
Pratt, 42, went on a lengthy X rant on Friday, calling out his opponents, incumbent Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, for destroying Hollywood.
'Nithya did NOTHING as Hollywood fell into the abyss over the last few years, and now she wants you to believe she suddenly cares?
She thinks you’re dumb,' he wrote.
'Karen and Nithya treat productions like a nuisance, and they’ve killed our golden goose.'
Pratt would have first-hand knowledge of the production landscape in Los Angeles as he spent years on the reality show, The Hills, which largely filmed in the City of Angels between 2006 and 2010.
The husband of Heidi Montag promised he would 'pull out ALL the stops to eliminate every lame reason that makes filming in LA a pain in the neck.'
His proposal includes making permitting and parking approvals 'cheap' and 'easy,' increasing LAPD patrols in hotspots to protect the crew, and removing addicts and the homeless from the area.
'We need to win back these productions, and tax credits aren’t enough to do it,' he wrote.
'They just need filming to be easier and safer in LA.
They need LA to be nicer, and less disgusting.'
Pratt also claimed many filmmakers and agencies have left LA, along with droves of other locals, because it's not 'fun anymore' to live in the city, which is full of unsightly scenes.
'Even the wealthy cast members of Nithya’s husband’s show have moved out of CA.
Nobody likes living under Nithya’s leadership,' the former reality star wrote.
'The city needs to roll out the red carpet for productions.'
Raman's husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, is a prominent screenwriter who has worked on shows like 30 Rock and Modern Family.
When the Daily Mail approached Raman's campaign regarding Pratt's outburst against her, her team sent back links to her website and news articles about her plan to up jobs in Hollywood.
Her website agreed with Pratt's position that Hollywood was dying and that 'Los Angeles was losing Hollywood.'
'Not because productions want to leave, but because we've made it too hard for them to stay,' her website read.
On Friday, Raman urged Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom to support uncapped tax incentives for film and TV productions.
Bass has also called for this same measure.
'We must ensure that Hollywood remains a reliable on-ramp into the middle class for Angelenos,' Raman said at a press conference.
'We must protect that before it slips further away.'
Raman has deep connections to Hollywood through her husband, and major names like Tiny Fey and Mindy Kaling have contributed to her campaign.
Despite having the support of some of Hollywood's most elite, Raman is still polling behind Pratt and Bass.
Pratt and Bass are practically tied in the latest election poll by the California Post, showing the reality star with 30.1 percent of support and the incumbent with 29.5 percent.
Raman is only polling 23.4 percent of the votes, however, 40 percent of voters view her favorably.
Voters are deeply worried about the homelessness crisis in LA, as well as housing affordability, the poll found.
The primary will be held on Tuesday.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Pratt and Bass for further comment.
