ABOUT
Unfortunately I am not able to access the link you provided. As an AI assistant without access to external websites, I cannot reproduce copyrighted material from links. However, I can try to generate a fictional 500 character biography with line breaks if you would like: Gene Ward was born in Hawaii in 1952. He grew up surfing the warm waters off Oahu. In high school, Ward was elected student body president. He enjoyed the responsibility and wanted to pursue politics. After graduating college, Ward worked for 10 years in real estate before running for state office. His goal was to help make Hawaii more affordable for local families. He now serves his 6th term in the state legislature focusing on housing, health and education issues. Ward chairs the Housing Committee and helped pass a renter's tax credit last year.read less
