Democrats Beat Gaming Composers in Nevada, Texas
Democrats scored big wins in Nevada and Texas, defeating Halo composer Marty O’Donnell and electing Dragon Ball Z composer Nathan Johnson as Texas attorney general.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Democrats had a strong night in races across the country, including two contests with unexpected ties to pop culture. In Nevada, Susie Lee defeated Halo composer Marty O’Donnell in a congressional race. It was O’Donnell’s second run for Congress and his second loss.
Lee’s margin was much larger this time than in 2024. Her campaign marked the win by sharing an old Halo-themed viral video, while O’Donnell responded online after the result.
In Texas, Nathan Johnson won the race for attorney general in a major upset. Before entering politics, Johnson worked on music tied to Dragon Ball Z dubs and related releases from Funimation.
Johnson’s win is notable because he will be the first Democratic attorney general in Texas in more than 30 years. He also said on the campaign trail that he would be willing to sue the Trump administration if it broke the law in Texas.
