Jim Ward, former president of LucasArts, is running as a Republican to represent Arizonaās 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in next yearās election, according to Wardās official election site.
āItās time politicians who just want to be politicians got out of the way and let people who have run businesses, created jobs and made decisions theyāve had to live with, go to Washington and straighten out this mess,ā according to the election site for Ward, who resigned from LucastArts early last year. āIāve got that skill set along with the ability to make the right kind of change. I hope youāll agree.ā
