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.

Pratt, for his part, is not going away without a fight.
Pratt is again claiming that he has audio recordings that could have major political consequences for either Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass or her Democratic challenger, City Councilmember Nithya Raman.
Pratt is continuing his public feud with city leaders following his loss in the mayoral primary.
In a video posted to social media Friday, the former reality television personality said he is no longer bound by the constraints of a political campaign and vowed to release a recording that he claims captures either Bass or Raman “doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.”
Pratt did not provide evidence to support the allegation or identify which official was allegedly captured in the recording.
His remarks nevertheless sparked speculation online as observers debated the potential target and the nature of the material he says he intends to release.
“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it,” he added.
“So Karen and Nithya, ask yourself – is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing and saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?” he continued.
Pratt, who ran as a right-leaning independent, emerged as a surprisingly competitive candidate during the race but ultimately fell short in the June 2 mayoral primary.
Under Los Angeles’ election system, the two candidates receiving the most votes advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation.
Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, quickly secured her place in the runoff after receiving 34.3% of the vote.
The battle for the second spot remained unresolved for several days as ballots continued to be counted before Raman, a socialist-leaning Democrat, ultimately pulled ahead, leaving many critics to cry foul.
Final results showed Raman capturing 29% of the vote, compared with Pratt’s 25.5%, ending the independent candidate’s bid to advance to the general election while cementing a runoff between two Democratic candidates.
