Halo Composer Marty O'Donnell Runs for Nevada's 3rd District, Urging 10% Federal Spending Cuts

Summary
Marty O'Donnell, the composer behind Halo's original music, said he is running as a Republican in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District on an anti-establishment pitch aimed at one of the country's most competitive swing seats.
The 4-term Democratic incumbent, Susie Lee, has long held the district, so O'Donnell is targeting independents with what he calls "common sense" positions on the economy, immigration and social issues.
O'Donnell argued his business and team-leading experience makes him better suited than career politicians, centering his campaign on restoring an economy where one job can support a family.
On policy, he backed cutting at least 10% from every federal program, vowed to fight waste and fraud, and aligned himself with Donald Trump's foreign policy, including saying he would support military action if needed to free Cuba.
