Ethan Ward has dreamed of being President of the United States since he was eight years old. He took his parents very seriously when they told him that holding such an important job would mean putting the needs of the American people before his own wants and desires. He also had to tell the truth – always. Those words stayed with him throughout his life, even when his award-winning high school debate team visited Washington D.C. and he met H.W. Bush. When asked what career he hoped to pursue, Ethan told the President, in all seriousness, that he would one day have his job.
That dream was put on the back burner as Ethan got older and life itself got in the way. At age thirty-seven it resurfaced when his sister, Deanna, was killed in Afghanistan. The war had to end, and the President of the United States was the only one with the power to do so. America faced other problems, though: high gas prices, an economy that was on a downward spiral, a National Debt that was sky rocketing out of control, a home foreclosure rate that was unprecedented, and American jobs that were being shipped overseas allowing illegal aliens to take what was left. Ethan has logical, down-to-earth solutions for all of the problems – if he can just get the American people to listen to him. More importantly, they have to take him seriously. He's a small town boy, owner of a small construction company. Husband to Kelly and father to Alyssa, Devon and Dillon. He loves to bowl, to hunt and fish, and he's Wisconsin's #1 Packer fan. He has never held a public office, though. He never went to college. He's a simple high school graduate who loves his country more than most.
That alone is enough to impress Monica Sheffield, widow of a former U.S. Congressman, who attends the press conference in Gordon, Wisconsin when Ethan announces his intention to run for President. His own family thinks he's slipped over the edge, but Monica sees the earnestness in his eyes and hears the passion in his voice when he talks of "serving each and every American citizen" and "preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States". Ethan has a gift, a gift that has to be shared. He, unlike any other President in recent history, was an honest, hard-working man who would work tirelessly to make America a place its citizens could be proud to call home.
