Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, is bucking the trend of typical House speakers who often own high-dollar assets.
Instead of concentrating his wealth in expensive cars, art and luxury houses, Johnson has opted for a much more down-to-earth approach, saying he wants to be the “man of the people” who comes from a working-class background.
Johnson prides himself on living a humble suburban lifestyle with his wife and three children. He purposefully relocated from the wealthy suburb of Jefferson Parish to St. Tammany Parish to save money and be more in-tune with the middle-class Louisiana residents he serves.
Johnson’s team is dedicated to draining any unnecessary expense from their budgets, such as spending an average of $400 per month less on consultants and external attorneys than his predecessors.
Rather than rent an expensive office, Johnson’s team now leases a suite from a coworking space that fits within their budget.
Rather than wasting time and money on non-essential office items, Johnson’s team chose instead to invest in technology that enhances their ability to serve their constituents effectively. For instance, developing a program that allows citizens to electronically schedule appointments.
In addition, Johnson is often seen visiting Louisiana’s small towns and rural areas, taking personal interest in the issues faced by its residents.
It’s clear that Mike Johnson is a man of the people. He is focused on being an effective representative for the entire state of Louisiana, and has shown that an ostentatious lifestyle isn’t necessary to serve constituents with honesty, integrity, and dedication.
