The Bossier Chamber of Commerce reached out to the eight candidates running in Mayoral races in Bossier Parish to fill out a questionnaire. As strong advocates in the parish for community and economic development, the Bossier Chamber asked that the candidates provide an outlook on their experience and their plan for one of our great towns moving forward.
We represent the entire parish of Bossier and work very closely with each municipality to help with governmental as well as economic and community development issues and opportunities.
A blank questionnaire with five questions was emailed to all of the Mayoral candidates:
