Evans was elected alderman of Chicago's South Side 4th Ward (by a vote of 6,784 to 3,136 over Hattie B. Kay Williams, a 50-year-old Girl Scouts executive) in a November 27, 1973 special election to fill the vacancy created six month earlier by the death of Ald. Claude Holman on June 1, 1973. An ally of Mayors Daley, Bilandic, Byrne and Washington, he served as floor leader and Chicago City Council Finance Chair during Harold Washington's mayoral administration.
