Sergey Brin Donates to Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles Mayoral Campaign
Sergey Brin backs Spencer Pratt with max donation in LA mayoral race Tech leaders join the push as voters decide between Bass, Raman, and Pratt
Google cofounder Sergey Brin has given the maximum allowed donation of $1,800 to Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, according to city campaign finance records. The contribution was made on May 27, ahead of Tuesday’s election.
The report says Brin is one of several tech figures who have backed Pratt, including executives tied to Palantir, SpaceX, TikTok, Riot Games, and Activision Blizzard, as well as the Winklevoss twins. Pratt, a registered Republican, is running in the city’s nonpartisan mayoral race.
The article frames the donations as part of a broader shift among some technology leaders who have become more open to supporting Republicans amid disputes over taxes, artificial intelligence policy, and relations with the Trump administration. Pratt is competing against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and city councilwoman Nithya Raman in Tuesday’s election.
