J.M. Evans
Proven, Experienced, NEW Leadership
I am pleased to introduce myself to you as the District 1 candidate for City-County Council. Making sure the needs of our community are met is of great importance to me.

Within the past 10 years, District 1 has experienced a major population growth.  As many families decide to move into our area, crimes tend to increase.

We need tougher penalties on those who are caught disturbing the peace, using and distributing drugs, or in any way disrupting our communities.  We also need early intervention and persistent enforcement of basic laws to remove disruptive behavior, without violating individual constitutional rights. I want to increase and secure the safety of District 1’s neighborhoods so that this great multi-cultural area will remain a safe place to raise our families.

As a candidate for the City-County Council, I look forward to working to develop safe communities, so that we and our children can prosper.

My experience includes Director of Minority and Women Business for the City of Indianapolis under Mayor Bart Peterson. Also, I served as Executive Director of the Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males under the Late Governor Frank O’Bannon.

I am a graduate of the University of Indianapolis with a BA in Political Science and English, and I have my Master’s in Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University.

I welcome your ideas and assistance in building a stronger community and making Indianapolis a better place to live.

On Election Day, I would appreciate your support.
