CABOT -- Arkansas' next speaker of the house, Brian Evans, had originally intended to pursue a law degree as a stepping stone to a political career. However, at just 23 years old, he shifted gears and accepted a position at a logistics company in Orlando, Florida. This decision was influenced by his father's counsel to gain experience in the public sector for five years.

Evans' journey took a significant turn when he returned to his hometown, where he became involved with the Cabot School Board. His dedication to education and community service helped him build a strong reputation among local constituents. Over the years, he honed his leadership skills and developed a deep understanding of the issues facing his community.

As he prepares to assume the role of speaker of the house, Evans is poised to bring his unique blend of business acumen and local experience to the Arkansas legislature. His path reflects a commitment to serving the public and addressing the needs of his constituents.
