"Steve Evans is a man with guts, passion and a true respect for the Las Vegas Community. In this, Steve weaves an unparalleled and focused desire to better Las Vegas for its next period of growth. Knowing, however, that we are still on financial thin ice. Steve's stewardship begins in learning what the people really want and need. This together with his uncanny ability to speak to a person makes everyone he speaks to know they are being engaged by someone with sincere care and an open ear and mind.
"People who decide to run for office often decide for self... Not Steve, his decision is driven by his desire to do right for his constituency – to do right for Las Vegas. His constituency and Las Vegas would do right to stand by Steve, and support him to represent them and Las Vegas as I do."
– Patrick Duffy, City of Las Vegas Arts Commissioner
“Steve has been a consistently thoughtful, fair-minded and eloquent advocate for smart urban planning and enhancing the quality of life in Las Vegas. His background, his knowledge of who built Las Vegas and his vision for where we can go in the future, will make him an excellent representative on the City Council."
– Gregory S. Brown
“Steve Evans: knowledgeable about Las Vegas and concerned for its citizens; fair-minded, informed and concerned for all of Las Vegas’ citizens; an excellent Planning Commissioner and consensus builder, who works well with neighbors as well as applicants.”
– Jay Brown, Esq., Brown & Premsrirut
"I met Steve when he worked in the national office of Head Start in DC, helping children and families get a hand up in life. To supplement his earnings, he worked in the bars and restaurants of Georgetown, where he worked his magic. I’ll never forget volunteering at a shelter in the late 1970s operated by Mitch Snyder." and CCNV, and lo and behold who was the volunteer on the overnight shift but Steve Evans! Boy was I relieved to see him! Yet of course, he’d leave in the morning with his shirt pressed, tie and suit on to work the Hill. ... Time and again, Steve brought together the total opposites of the town of Washington – the rich and powerfully connected politicians, business owners, and folks of Capitol Hill, with the religious leaders, the young, the old, the left, community groups, and those left out and left behind. Somehow he always did it in a way that not only made things better, but was a lot of fun in the doing, despite all the work and effort."

Founder, Calvary Shelter for Women, Washington, D.C.
“As the former Planning Director for the City of Las Vegas, I have witnessed firsthand Steve's dedication to making Las Vegas a better place to live, work and raise a family. Steve has a great work ethic, and he will bring fresh ideas and tireless effort to the City Council."
– Robert S. Genzer
"As a builder in Ward 3, I have had the opportunity to work with Steve on many issues and to present our communities to him at several city planning commission meetings. Steve has visited my communities several times to see how everything was progressing and always wanted to hear about the challenges that we faced. Steve has a real passion for urban planning and wants to help streamline good development in Ward 3."
– Trinity Schlottman, Urban Lofts
“Las Vegas and Ward 3 will be well represented by a dear friend and colleague."
– Victoria Quinn, Las Vegas Planning Commissioner, Ward 1
“I moved to Las Vegas 10 years ago. Shortly after my move, I started to watch the planning commission meetings on Channel 2. It didn't take long to realize that Steve Evans was a stand-out planning commissioner. Steve consistently showed a vision for the city, and Downtown redevelopment. I also noticed he actively listened to opposing views and offered dignity and respect, sprinkled with doses of humor, to those who may not agree with his position. His past voting record as planning commissioner for the City of Las Vegas speaks volumes. The passion, integrity, and vision Steve Evans offers, makes him the number one choice for the new Las Vegas councilman position in ward 3."
– Downtown Steve, Realty Executives
“I have known Steve for 14 years. He is the most dedicated person I have met committed to reviving downtown and the Las Vegas Arts District. Having served several years on the planning commission, his voting record shows that commitment and his understanding of new development as it benefits these areas and others in Las Vegas.”
– Cindy Funkhouser, Founder, First Friday
“After we opened Gaia Flowers, Gifts and Art in June, Steve was one of the first people to come by, get to know us and show his support for small businesses like ours in this community. I don't think he's missed a First Friday or Gaia event since then, and he always has the time to sit, meet people who are gathered here, listen to their stories and share his own. Steve truly cares about the well-being of businesses and people in this area, and we enthusiastically support him in his run for City Council.”
– Peter Frigeri, Gaia Flowers
"I like Steve. He is fair, honest, committed, intelligent, compassionate and kind. He follows through and stands behind his promises. His passionate belief in the potential of our city is evidenced by his dedicated work on the City’s planning commission, his own neighborhood Ward 3 initiatives, and with numerous arts and cultural organizations. He knows how city government works, and can work it. He listens. And, he will continue to listen to you to help meet your needs. That is a promise you can take to the bank."
– Dedee Nave, Community Development Advocate

Having our business located directly across the street from Huntridge Circle Park, we have come to know Steve as a tireless advocate and supporter of the local area. And more importantly, he has routinely displayed much insight into ...building community, and rejuvenating downtown Las Vegas. No better person could be chosen to represent Ward 3."
