From HALO to Capitol Hill: Marty O’Donnell on Creativity, Politics, and Nevada’s Future
Today on The Middle Ground Radio Show, Tom and Russell Letizia sat down with Marty O’Donnell — the legendary composer and co-creator of HALO — to talk about his next big mission: running for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District.
O’Donnell shared how his creative background shapes his political philosophy, what he learned from standing up to Microsoft and winning, and how collaboration with Paul McCartney taught him about unity and leadership.
The discussion dove deep into Nevada’s most pressing issues — from rising prices in Las Vegas and affordability in the hospitality sector, to the renewed debate over nuclear testing and the future of Yucca Mountain. Marty outlined how he plans to bring innovation, integrity, and fresh thinking to Washington, while staying rooted in Nevada values.
Whether you’re a gamer, a voter, or someone who just loves a good story about reinvention, this episode connects art, politics, and leadership in a way only The Middle Ground can.
