Larry Leipprandt

District Vice Chair, State Committee Ex-Officio Member & Huron County Republican Party Chairman

Born into a farming family in Huron County, I was fortunate to grow up in a small town in a free country.

My parents had many exchange students living in our home, so I had a lot of exposure to the world even as a child. I joined the US Navy to see the world and it delivered. I traveled to 6 countries and came to see how much tyranny people are under around the world. I was promoted to Flight Deck Troubleshooter Supervisor on my second deployment where I learned about how to lead through teamwork.
 
After my honorable discharge from the Navy, I worked for Martin Marietta Denver Aerospace and became Supervisor of Quality Control and Director of the Peacekeeper Program. Since then I have worked in construction and owned my own company for many years building many things from golf courses to homes.
 
I was fortunate to grow up in America and live as a free person with rights protected by our constitution, but those rights are quickly being eroded by politicians and globalists. I am privileged to join my fellow citizens in the MI GOP District 9 to support the efforts of conservatives in Michigan to protect our constitutional rights and reclaim our state and our country from those trying to take down this once great nation.

1 Thessalonians 4 speaks of living a quiet life and minding your own business.

It encourages working with your hands so that a person may win the respect of others and be dependent on no one. These verses have directed my life so that when I have presented myself in the public square, I would not be concerned about gaining respect.
Unfortunately, in these times, living a quiet life is impossible. Words must be backed by activism to preserve our republic. Opportunities to serve in my community include serving on the Board of Education for LakeVille Community Schools, Marathon Township Planning Commission, Lapeer County Mental Health Board and on many committees related to these organizations.

I am a mother, grandmother, patriot, Christian. I enjoy many kinds of crafts and reading and Bible studies.

I’m excited to be involved in grassroots politics and look for others, who share that passion. I hope you will enjoy reading the bios of the team, and I thank you for having a look!

If you had asked me 10 years ago what I thought about politics, I would have told you that they were

not my thing, and I did not want to be involved. I was blind to the corruption and bad practices and thought that everything was “OK.” In 2020, my eyes were opened. With everything that was happening, I kept asking myself, “Why isn’t anyone doing anything to stop this?” At that point, I knew that I could no longer sit idle and wait for someone to come save the day. I knew I had to get involved. Since then, I have become an Election Poll Worker, a Precinct Delegate, and now a member of the Michigan 9th District Executive Committee. I have been inspired by the grassroots organizations that are coming together in our state, and I am proud to be working alongside those hardworking people to make sure that the voice of the people is heard. I hope to be an inspiration for others to get involved so that we can take back our state together. Outside of politics, I enjoy cooking from scratch and spending time sharing a meal with family and friends. I also appreciate and enjoy a nice meal out, especially when I’m on vacation. I love gardening and preserving my harvest – it is hard work, but it is extremely rewarding. Boating season is my favorite time of year. In my opinion, there is no place more relaxing than being on a boat, soaking up the sun. But that’s just a little bit about me. If you would like to know more, please feel free to reach out.
