Halo composer enters Congress race as GOP candidate
The Composer of Halo Video Game Franchise Announces Candidacy for Congress
The composer behind the iconic music of the Halo video game franchise, Marty O’Donnell, has made an unexpected leap into the world of politics. Running as a Republican candidate in Nevada’s 3rd District, O’Donnell aims to address the pressing issues that have plagued small-business owners and middle-class residents.
“I’m tired of seeing the leaders of our country being influenced by the toxic divisions that are tearing apart our families and society,” O’Donnell passionately expressed. “It’s time for me to step up and do my civic duty. To give back and try and change things for the better. If not me, who? If not now, when?”
A New Path for a Reluctant Politician
O’Donnell admits that he never aspired to be a politician and still doesn’t. After successful careers and starting small businesses, he was ready to retire and spend time with his family. However, witnessing the current state of the economy and the divisive nature of politics, he felt compelled to take action.
“I’ve had two successful careers and have started a few small businesses. I’ve also worked for some big corporations. I was ready to retire and spend more time with my family – which I’ve done for the past 3 years. I think…”
A Vision for Change
Alongside his concerns for the economy, O’Donnell also wants to address the issue of border security. He believes that the federal and state governments should work together to find a solution. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of “old-fashioned ‘family values'” and aims to champion the traditional family structure as vital for a child’s upbringing.
“I’m ready to go to D.C. and see if I can help bring back sanity and civility to the public discourse on these issues and all the other issues that face our great nation,” O’Donnell declared. “We need bold leaders for such a time as this.”
A Supporter of Former President Donald Trump
In an interview, O’Donnell revealed that he voted for former President Donald Trump twice and plans to do so again if Trump becomes the Republican presidential nominee. He admires the secure border and absence of inflation during Trump’s presidency. However, he also emphasizes his willingness to work with any elected leader, regardless of party affiliation.
“But no matter who is elected this November, if I have the privilege to serve, I plan to work with them,” O’Donnell assured. “That’s what voters expect, and that’s what I’ll do.”
O’Donnell, known for his work on the Halo video games, began his career in sound design and video game music in 1997. Now residing in Las Vegas, he hopes to make a difference in Nevada’s swing district, currently occupied by Rep. Susie Lee. Other Republican candidates in the district’s primary include policy analyst Drew Johnson, former Nevada Treasurer Dan Schwartz, and former state Sen. Elizabeth Helgelien.

What specific policies does O’Donnell propose to address the challenges faced by middle-class residents?
Past few years. But when I look around and see the struggles that small-business owners are facing, and the challenges that middle-class families are dealing with, I can’t just sit back and do nothing,” O’Donnell explained.
Despite his initial reluctance, O’Donnell believes that his diverse background and experiences make him uniquely qualified to address the issues facing his district. As a composer, he understands the importance of creativity and innovation. As a small-business owner, he knows the struggles of balancing budgets and creating jobs. And as a family man, he appreciates the value of strong communities and the need for compassionate policies.
Addressing the Needs of Small-Business Owners
One of the primary focuses of O’Donnell’s campaign is creating an environment that supports and nurtures small businesses. He recognizes that they are the backbone of the economy and that their success directly impacts the well-being of their communities. O’Donnell plans to advocate for less burdensome regulations and lower taxes for small-business owners, as well as provide resources and support for those looking to start their own ventures.
“Small businesses are the engine of our economy. They create jobs, support families, and contribute to the vibrancy of our communities. We need to create an environment where they can thrive and succeed,” O’Donnell stated.
Empowering the Middle Class
Another key aspect of O’Donnell’s platform is addressing the challenges faced by middle-class residents. He believes that the government should work to ensure that hardworking families can achieve financial stability, access quality healthcare, and provide a good education for their children. O’Donnell plans to implement policies that promote job growth, increase wages, and reduce the cost of essential services.
“It’s crucial that we support and empower the middle class. They are the backbone of our society and deserve a fair chance at success. By creating an environment where they can thrive, we will build a stronger and more prosperous nation,” O’Donnell emphasized.
A Call to Unite
Ultimately, O’Donnell’s campaign extends beyond partisan politics and focuses on bringing people together. He acknowledges the divisions that exist in our society and aims to bridge the gap, believing that unity and collaboration are the keys to progress. O’Donnell’s hope is that by leveraging his platform and his voice, he can inspire others to put aside their differences and work toward a common goal of a better future.
“The only way we can move forward as a country is by coming together and finding common ground. It’s time to put aside our differences and work towards solutions that benefit all of us. That is the spirit of my campaign,” O’Donnell declared.
