Former 'Dragon Ball Z' Composer Elected To Texas State Senate

DALLAS, TX --The former musical composer of the iconic "Dragon Ball Z"anime TV series has been elected to the Texas State Legislature, NBC DFW reported. Democrat Nathan Johnson defeated incumbent Republican Don Huffines Tuesday night, who was elected in 2014. Johnson will represent Texas' 16th district, which covers Dallas.

Johnson was a musical composer for Funimation's "Dragon Ball Z" and scored films like "Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest," "Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might," and "Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming," according to dragonball.wikia.com.
