A member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Evans also holds degrees in Public Administration along with a CLRM certification. Her extensive experience spans multiple LADOT divisions.
“I carefully selected Linda Evans, a lifelong resident of the 35th Senate District, because she has consistently demonstrated excellence in our community. Her honorable service within the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and her unmatched professional dedication to managing 502 miles of traffic signals and signs for over 10 million residents and visitors are truly commendable,” said Richardson.
“Linda Evans is a true Woman of the Year, a Wonder Woman who builds strong work teams, creates safety in our neighborhoods, and stands up for everyone she meets. There are over 19 million women in California, and Linda Evans is truly one in a million,” added Richardson.
