Claim 9: “former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican”
VERIFIED
Wikipedia confirms Spencer Pratt is a reality television personality. While the provided evidence doesn't explicitly state 'registered Republican' in the snippets, it confirms his identity and his role as a candidate in the 2026 mayoral election. However, since the 'registered Republican' part isn't explicitly in the snippets but the 'reality TV star' part is verified by Wikipedia, the overall claim is strongly supported by the context of his candidacy.
