California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton announced that Spencer Pratt will have a position in his governor’s office following the conclusion of Pratt’s mayoral campaign.
The former Fox News commentator appeared on the conservative news network earlier Monday and informed Martha MacCallum that he admired the vigor that the reality star-turned-politician contributed to Los Angeles.
“I would be honored to have him in any kind of role,” Hilton said.
“I haven’t spoken to him since the election results, but of course, he made a huge impact,” Hilton added.
Hilton expressed a desire to have Pratt appointed to a position addressing issues he advocated for, such as homelessness and fire safety.
Hilton, endorsed by President Donald Trump, has progressed to the gubernatorial general election.
He will confront Democratic candidate and former California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
The Democratic candidates divided the votes among themselves, enabling Hilton to become a leading contender.
California conducts nonpartisan primary elections. This year, Californians will have the option to select between a Republican and a Democrat.
Hilton expressed regret regarding the nonpartisan electoral system, asserting that it diminishes options for Californians.
“[Pratt] gave hope in Los Angeles,” Hilton added.
“I actually think it’s a travesty that we have this top-two system, which meant that in L.A. there’s not the same chance to vote for change as we’re now going to have statewide,” Hilton said.
Pratt was iced out of the L.A. mayoral election by progressive candidate Councilmember Nithya Raman on Monday.
Raman will contend against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in the general election this November.
