Get to know Brian
Brian Evans has dedicated his life to service. He is a loving family man who strives to build the best future for our district and Indiana. Brian spends his time helping businesses big and small, local governments and economic developers solve problems across the state. With a robust background in the military, government, and nonprofit organizations, he is the best equipped to represent our district in the State House. Brian doesn’t just want a better state for his community and family, he has made it his career and life mission.
Brian Evans is a dutiful constitutional conservative. He believes Indiana needs leaders who are thoughtful and exercise good judgment. Leaders who will fight for critical issues like education, agriculture, childcare, public safety, healthcare reform, and protecting Hoosier taxpayers from government waste.
As a proud Hoosier, Brian has always believed in the American dream of working hard, owning a home, and raising a family. However, it pains him to see this reality slipping away. Between inflation, rising home costs, and out-of-control health care, hardworking Hoosiers are bearing the burden. Bad federal policies and special interests are the cause of many of these, and it is up to the state to counteract them.
“I have dedicated my life to serving our country and state. Now I am asking you to allow me to serve our district and represent us in the State House as our next State Representative.”
