Between 1968 and 1974,Evans was a teacher of social studies and science. Also,he served as delegate to the Democratic National Mid-term Convention in 1974.[1]
Congress
Evans was elected as a Democrat to the Ninety-fourth Congress as well as to the three succeeding Congresses (January 3,1975 - January 3,1983).[1]
After the 1980 census,the Republican-controlled Indiana General Assembly radically altered Evans' 6th District,turning it into a heavily Republican district centered on Indianapolis' wealthy northern suburbs. It appeared that the district was redrawn for State SenatorDan Burton. In the process,Evans' home was moved into the neighboring 10th District of fellow Democrat Andy Jacobs. Rather than face almost certain defeat in the 6th,Evans ran against Jacobs in the Democratic primary for the 10th and was soundly defeated. He was succeeded by Burton,who would hold the seat (now numbered as the 5th District) for 30 years.
Later career
Evans lives in McLean,Virginia,and works as a legislative consultant in Washington.[1]
