Using sarcasm and upbeat festival-style imagery, the ad portrays residents and supporters saying things like they\u2019re \u201chaving a Pratt summer,\u201d while clips show peopel in matching shirts and a performance-like scene where Pratt asks the crowd the same question.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign also draws a parallel to pop culture\u2019s \u201cbrat\u201d branding from Charli XCX\u2019s 2024 era, echoing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/videos-show-unindicted-suspicious-actors-attacking-capitol-on-jan-6\/\" title=\"Videos Show Unindicted \u201cSuspicious Actors\u201d Attacking Capitol on Jan 6\">lime-green<\/a> and black aesthetic used in that phenomenon-an online connection that previously extended to Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign after Charli XCX posted \u201ckamala IS brat.\u201d Pratt\u2019s video similarly adopts that look and music, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >including background elements reminiscent<\/a> of Robyn\u2019s \u201cDancing on my Own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>beyond style, the ad makes light, exaggerated claims about public safety and quality-of-life improvements-touching on policing, reduced drug activity, and cleaner neighborhoods-then ends with the message that \u201cLA is worth saving.\u201d Pratt is running against Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, with the primary election scheduled for June 2.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article
