As the race for Los Angeles mayor heats up, one progressive voter has seen enough of Democrat failure and is switching teams for at least this election. Being trapped by zombies can do that to you.
She tells the all too familiar modern story of the dangers of walking the streets in the City of Angels — you might just find yourself staring straight at some scary-looking street dwellers, and there’s nobody around to help. Now, if you happen to be heavily pregnant and looking after your toddler daughter, it’s even more frightening.
Her name is Kyrstin Munson, and she’s a tech exec who’s seen just about enough of Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom’s LA:
10 months pregnant in LA, out for a “relaxing” walk with my 2-year-old… and we get trapped by two Zombies.
My heart is pounding, fight-or-flight in full blast is the LAST thing my body needs right before labor. All I can think about is protecting my kids while the city falls apart around us.
@MayorOfLA @nithyavraman
I voted for you. I defended you. But you’ve lost my trust.
Enough. I’m done watching my community live in fear.
I’m taking a chance on @spencerpratt - someone who’ll actually demand transparency, accountability, and results.
My kids won’t grow up in this hellhole. Time for real change.

Reality star Spencer Pratt, who famously saw his house, as well as his parents’ residence, burn to the ground during the Palisades fires of January, 2025, has run a strong campaign as a Republican against incumbent failure Karen Bass and wide-eyed Democratic Socialists of America extremist city council member Nithya Raman.
Even in this deep-blue city, he has a chance, as residents like Munson realize that what they’ve been voting for all these years has produced nothing but a city that looks like it’s straight out of an apocalypse movie.
Spencer Pratt Scorches Karen Bass Over Kamala Harris' Endorsement As His Momentum Surges
I can relate to Kyrstin, because I live a smidge over half a mile from a reasonably fancy new outdoor mall that’s enjoyable to visit. I wouldn’t walk there if you paid me, however, because you have to go through an underpass that looks like it’s from The Walking Dead.
Munson was just trying to get to the grocery store, right in the heart of Hollywood:
Munson told The Post she was merely trying to walk with her daughter to Bristol Farms when she came upon the scary scene on Sunday roughly two blocks from the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Fairfax Ave.
“I was scared. Then shocked it was so bad this time. Then furious,” said Munson, a former neighborhood council rep. “I’ve been part of lots of neighborhood meetings and know how stretched the city is.”
Earlier that day, Munson said she was out at medical appointments with her daughter, and “had to walk around multiple people passed out on the sidewalk.”
California voters have a chance to change the trajectory of the failing state, not only with the mayoral race but in the gubernatorial battle, where Republicans Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco have given us the first real opportunity in years to take back Sacramento.
I’m not holding my breath — Golden State voters have disappointed the rest of America time and time again, and the all-powerful unions are going to fight tooth and nail to hold onto their power (which means silencing the 25 percent of the electorate that identifies as siding with the GOP, compared to the 45 percent who keep siding with the Dems and cheering on the destruction of the formerly golden state).
Online commenters keep telling California folks to leave, and many have, but what they don’t realize is that A) not everybody is able to do so, and B) if this cancer is allowed to spread, which it already arguably has, there won’t be a place to go. Just ask the conservative residents of Austin, Texas, Denver, Colorado, or numerous other infected cities.
Munson’s story is powerful, and she’s brave to tell it. We need more like her.
Editor’s Note: Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the “progressives” are ruining California.

Sometimes, there are just no words.
10 months pregnant? They would have induced by now especially since she had other kids.
Imagine how refreshing it is to wake from a media induced mania? We lack that perspective because normal is our natural state. These are the voices that need to reverberate around the country. More, more!

As if electing a Republican Mayor with an overwhelming Progressive majority will make a difference. Like electing a Republican Governor with an overwhelming Progressive majority in both houses of the legislature will make a difference.
In Illinois that can be referred to as Bruce Rauner Syndrome.
It’s lib math and lib biology.
I wonder who is going to get the Dead Vote.
The Dead Vote has carried the elections in California for a couple decades now.
I fear she may be “a decade late, and a million $’s short.”
Wait a minute, what kind of species is this??
Irish twins?
I’m glad she’s voting Republican, I guess. But her thinking just amazes me. This progressive mother has lived in Los Angeles for a while. The “zombies” and homeless tent cities have been on the streets since at least COVID. But she continued to vote for Bass. Why? Because until a day or two ago, she and her toddler had not been personally accosted by the “zombies”. Is that really what it took to change her thinking? The stories about other women being attacked didn’t persuade her? Progressivism still worked? Does this progressive mom watch MSNBC? Did she hear Ana Kasparian tell her story about being sexually assaulted by a “zombie” while walking alone in LA? That didn’t persuade her either? She personally had to be accosted with her toddler to change her mind?
I was born and raised in CA.
I came back to fight.
She’s a liberal and chances are her OB/GYN is too. Math is different for them.
Welcome to the other side for now, Ms Munson. Hope you can see that your kids need a safe country than the Dems are giving you...
Good. I hope it can turn around, soon.
Maybe, just maybe, people in LA and California at large are waking up to the realization that they have been lied to and made fools of for 30 years.
California was once a reliable REPUBLICAN state.......a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.........
Two words……OPEN CARRY!
Oh wait…..California…..
Sorry Sweety, you voted away that option.
DOJ needs to file suit here to get rid of the gerrymandering.
