Lee Havis, MGR State Volunteer Coordinator

Lee Havis, long-time resident of College Park, Maryland in Prince George's County, has been active in liberty-oriented private education and political organizing in Maryland for many years. In 2010, he founded the Patriot Vetting Committee (PVC, http://patriotvoting.com) to provide practical tools for vetting liberty candidates throughout the country. Thereafter, he started the PVC-affiliated Free State Patriots to use these tools for vetting candidates in Maryland. Lee began a leadership role in local Republican politics when in 2013, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the PG Republican party central committee, where he was especially active in building up a grassroots volunteer precinct organization. In 2015, he organized another grassroots volunteer organization in Maryland, this time state-wide, to support the candidacy of Ted Cruz for president. Based on that experience, he is has now started the Maryland Grassroots Republicans (MGR) to mobilize grassroots support for Republican party principles and candidates in an independent, self-governing manner throughout the state.
