Marty O’Donnell, the former Bungie composer best known for his Halo and Destiny soundtracks, has announced his intention to run for US Congress as a Republican candidate.
In a lengthy post on social media platform X, O’Donnell said he “never wanted to be a politician and I still don’t” but felt he needed to “step up” after seeing “the leaders of our country being influenced by the toxic divisions that are tearing apart our families and society”.
O’Donnell’s campaign website is now live, with a notable Halo-esque vibe. Visitors can donate to O’Donnell’s war fund, learn more about the composer’s history in the video games industry, and “join Marty’s army” to receive campaign updates.
