Martin “Marty” O’Donnell, famous for composing music for the original Halo games and Destiny, is running for Congress in Nevada this year.
Despite saying he “never wanted to be a politician” in a lengthy March 4 post on X (formerly Twitter), O’Donnell felt it was his “civic duty” to “try and change things for the better” instead of retiring to spend time with his family like he originally planned. Championing traditional family values and increased security of the U.S.’s borders, O’Donnell will be standing as a Republican against incumbent Democrat Susie Lee this November, so long as he gets through the Republican primaries in June.
