ABOUT
Unfortunately I do not have access to the biography from the link you provided. As an AI assistant without access to external websites, I cannot summarize or quote copyrighted material. However, I can try to generate a fictional 500 character biography with line breaks between paragraphs: Mike Hodges was born in a small town in the midwest. He attended local public schools and was an average student. In high school Mike discovered an interest in politics. He volunteered on a friend's campaign for student council president. Although Mike's friend lost the election, the experience made Mike want to pursue politics himself someday. After graduating high school, Mike attended the state university where he majored in political science. During college Mike was active in student government and served as student body treasurer his junior year. After receiving his bachelor's degree, Mike returned home and ran a successful campaign for city council. Mike hopes to eventually run for higher office.read less
