In this edition of SB Magazine, we are excited to showcase some of Shrevepor t -Bossier ’slocally-owned businesses. At a time when many small businesses are struggling to stay open, we applaud those who have the courage andfortitude to sally forth and fight the  good fight. We encourage you to take advantage of what our locally-owned advertisers have to offer.

We are also happy to throw a spotlight on the leader of one of our area’s biggest events, the Independence Bowl. Missy Setters has worked hard to make the Bowl what it has become, and we believe more people should know about her endeavors.The highlight of this issue is our very own Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. If you know Mike Johnson,then you know what he’s capable of.

 If you own a computer or watch the news, you can see his accomplishments andhopes for our country.

Our interview focused on his faith, his family and how becoming Speaker of the Househas changed their  lives.
