Mary Ann Lefevre

Precinct Committeeman & Grassroots Activist

She has lived in the Marlette neighborhood for nearly 50 years. Like many, she watched the country moving in the wrong direction but remained on the sidelines until the 2020 election became her turning point. She joined a grassroots conservative group, received training on the political process, and became a Precinct Committeeman to represent Republican voters in Marlette. Today, she works alongside fellow PCs to register new voters, share important information, and help elect conservative candidates. There is still much work to do to restore the principles of our Founding Fathers — and she is committed to doing her part.
