EXCERPT:
PRATT: "I think the next five months is — I’m going to have time to build out this team to show everybody the level of Democratic supporters that I have behind me, the heavy hitters that are in this room, that are all behind me. And I think this idea that I don’t represent Democrats and Republicans and independents, anyone that’s just a Los Angeles citizen that wants basic quality of life, I’ll be able to show that in five months. Right now, the media likes to say, 'Oh, he’s this.' I’m not that. I’m an Angeleno who said enough is enough and I had to step up. I didn’t want to be here tonight, but this is obviously God’s plan, and I’m going to go all the way and I'm going to show everybody that I'm their mayor."
