Evans was elected as an Indianapolis city-county council member after the 2019 elections. His election added to the increase of LGBTQ-identifying members of the council, which was a historic moment in Indianapolis politics.
In 2022, Evans pulled away from Democratic affiliation, and began to operate as an independent. He opted not to seek reelection for 2023 after serving one term as a city-county council member.
