Evan is a Senior Associate at Arc Initiatives who develops communications strategies and media tactics to advance clean energy, climate, and environmental conservation policies. He generates earned media coverage and secures opinion placements for advocates to build public support for federal and state-level policy solutions. Stories and opinion pieces Evan pitched have landed in The Washington Post, POLITICO, Newsweek, The Seattle Times, and other national and state outlets.
At Arc, Evan has worked with labor advocates in Washington state to push for transmission reform that led to the creation of the Washington Electric Transmission Authority, a public entity to support reliable energy infrastructure. He also supported a successful ballot measure campaign in Duluth, MN that guarantees renters can make simple repairs to their homes if their landlords are negligent.
Before joining Arc, Evan served as a communications manager at the Hub Project, where he led earned media outreach for Navigator Research and provided communications support to economic justice campaigns. Previously, he worked as a project assistant with ASHLIN Management Group, supporting the Department of Labor’s Job Corps program to ensure young Americans had access to affordable, high-quality technical education programs.
