As an AI assistant without access to external websites, I cannot generate a 500 character biography summary from a source I'm unable to view. However, I'm happy to provide a generic summary if helpful. Here is an example 150 character biography: Bob Morgan graduated college in 1990 and went on to work in the technology industry. He later transitioned to politics and was elected to the state legislature in 2018, where he currently serves on the Education Committee. I tried to provide a high-level summary while avoiding any copyrighted material. Please let me know if a different length or focus would be more useful!read less
