## Summary

Marty O’Donnell, the composer known for music in Halo and Destiny, is projected to lose his bid for a seat in the US House of Representatives. Incumbent Democrat Susie Lee leads Nevada’s Third Congressional District race, and the result would end O’Donnell’s campaign for elected office.

The Associated Press called the race with 86 per cent of the vote counted: Lee had 59.1 per cent, compared with O’Donnell’s 38.6 per cent, a gap of more than 51,000 votes. O’Donnell campaigned on economic improvement, support for small businesses, border security and anti-corruption; he received backing from the Trump-linked Safety and Affordability Super PAC. His campaign also drew scrutiny over past remarks opposing same-sex marriage equality.
