Spencer Pratt, a reality television personality who lost his home in the deadly Palisades wildfire last year, announced Wednesday that he intends to run for mayor of Los Angeles.

Pratt, a Republican who rose to reality-TV fame alongside his wife, Heidi Montag, on "The Hills," said at a fire anniversary event that "this just isn't a campaign, this is a mission. 
And we are going to expose the system."

The event, called "They Let Us Burn!," was a rally critical of state and local government's handling of the Jan. 7 wildfire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes. 
In the aftermath of the fire, Pratt emerged as an outspoken critic of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats, and said they failed to prevent the blaze. 
He sued the city and used social media to push back against denser housing.
As a Republican, he would enter the race as a long shot in heavily Democratic Los Angeles.
