Democrat Nathan Johnson flips Texas attorney general’s office
Johnson won 52.4% of the vote, ending Republican control of the office and promising a focus on consumer protection and child support enforcement.
- On Tuesday, Texas state senator Nathan Johnson won the attorney general race, defeating Republican Mayes Middleton with 52.4% of the vote. Before politics, Johnson composed music for 67 episodes of Dragon Ball Z.
- Johnson's composing career began unexpectedly after meeting Funimation co-founder Robert Cocanaugher while seeking office space for his law practice. Cocanaugher connected him with producer Barry Watson, leading to a 2005 redub assignment.
- Joining the Texas Senate in 2018, Johnson passed 134 bills while 'defending constitutional principles and holding government accountable.' He also plays piano and the ocarina, an instrument he learned specifically for the Dragon Ball Z score.
- Johnson's victory contributed to a historic Democratic surge in Texas, where the state 'turned blue' for the first time in 30 years. Democratic candidates James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa also won major statewide offices Tuesday.
- Reflecting on his anime work as a young father, Johnson said it gave him 'a creative outlet and a cultural connection that very few people have had the opportunity to have.' He will be sworn in as attorney general in January.
