Our Priorities

support evan

Strong Public Safety

Evan will fight to ensure every resident of North Miami lives in a safe, secure environment, where we all can thrive. He'll make investments in our North Miami Police Department and community policing initiatives.

Keeping Taxes Down

Let's elevate fiscal responsibility across North Miami City Hall. For Evan, that looks like cutting bloat in our City budget, keeping our property tax rates low, and stopping the water bill hikes for residents.

Honest Leadership

Evan will promote an open, honest, accountable and competent culture of servant leadership in North Miami that puts our community first in every initiative, plain and simple.

Smart Growth

Evan will work to curb over-development and promote small business growth. We need action on flood mitigation, traffic calming, better water pressure, and smart investment in our parks.

Meet Evan A. Shields, a dynamic young leader in North Miami, dedicated to driving positive change for public safety, smart growth and honest leadership in our community, as an educator, small business owner and community advocate.


Evan is running for North Miami City Council District 1 in the upcoming November 5th, 2024 election. An open seat, District 1 encompasses many of North Miami’s diverse eastside neighborhoods, including Keystone Point, Arch Creek East, Sole Mia and Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay campus.


Teaching 9th grade Algebra in low-income schools with Teach For America ignited Evan’s flame for public service. A third-generation former public-school educator, he dove head-first into community organizing on nights and weekends to further empower his students and their families alike. Education not only shaped Evan’s career, but also introduced him to his wife and the love of his life, Dr. Adolphia Lauture (OB/GYN).


Together, Adolphia and Evan have put down deep roots in North Miami as homeowners, active community leaders and parents to Josephine Kokorose, who turns two on Election Day 2024! The daughter of Haitian immigrants and a former high school science teacher, Adolphia’s today an OB/GYN physician serving the healthcare needs of women across our community.  Evan is the Founder & CEO of Indelible Capital Partners, an impact investment and consulting firm founded right here in North Miami.


Evan has a deep track record of community impact and tangible results for North Miami and South Florida. Under the appointment of outgoing District 1 Councilman Scott Galvin, he has served as chair of North Miami’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and as a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment since 2020.  He is a current board director of the Greater North Miami Chamber of Commerce, board member for Teach For America – Miami-Dade, and member of the Arch Creek East and Keystone Point neighborhood associations and the ParcView condo association. A rising star in Florida politics, Evan is also the former Treasurer of the Miami-Dade Democratic Party and a co-founder of the Northeast Miami-Dade Democrats.


Evan earned an MBA with a full-tuition scholarship in Real Estate and Finance from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a BA in Political & Social Thought from the University of Virginia. He also currently is a Public Leadership Credential candidate at the Harvard Kennedy School.


Evan believes that every North Miami resident deserves a safe and secure community where we all can thrive. He has got the right vision, fresh perspective and proven track record to help lead our City to a brighter future for all residents.
