Evans was elected chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party in 1985, and Chairman of the Sixth Congressional District in 1987 and 1989.
Evans served as General Counsel to the Georgia Republican Party for eight years, beginning with his appointment by then GOP Chairman Ralph Reed in 2001. He was reappointed by Georgia GOP Chairman Alec Poitevint in 2003 and 2005, and by Georgia GOP Chairman Sue Everhart in 2007 and 2009. From 2009-2011, Evans served as Finance Chair to the Georgia Republican Party.
In 2004 and 2008, Evans was selected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. Evans was appointed and served as the Republican National Committeeman from Georgia for the 2004 Republican National Convention (when Alec Poitevint was Georgia State Chairman). In 2008, Evans served as an Elector for the State of Georgia in the Presidential election.
Evans served on the state committee and state executive committee of the Georgia Republican Party for years. From 2003-2012, Evans served as the chairman of the Georgia Republican Convention; in 2008, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Evans abused his knowledge of party rules and Robert's Rules of Order to keep silent any duly-elected delegate who wished to question the GOP's support of John McCain as the party's presidential nominee.
He currently serves as the Co-Chair of the Georgia Judicial Nominating Commission and as the Republican National Committeeman from Georgia (although elected in May 2012, his term will officially begin at the end of the Republican National Convention in August 2012). He previously served as a member of the five-person Georgia State Election Board for 10 years.
