Leon Drolet (born January 9, 1967)[1] is a Michigan Republican politician[2] and Anti-tax activist elected Macomb County Commissioner.

He is a political activist known for his conservative fiscal views, which have caused criticism from politicians from both sides, including Candace Miller, L. Brooks Patterson and Mark Hackel.

[5] The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative used the petition process to place a state constitutional amendment (Proposal 2 of November 2006) before voters that prohibits governments in Michigan from discriminating against, or giving preferential treatment to, any citizen on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of government hiring, contracting, or state university admissions.

The amendment was approved by 58% of voters despite the fact that proponents were heavily outspent in the campaign by opponents who supported race-based government preference programs.

After a highly acrimonious petition drive and numerous local and federal court battles, Drolet was obtained the needed signatures to force a recall election against the Speaker of the Michigan House, Andy Dillon (D-Redford Twp.

Drolet's work on the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, eminent domain reform, the Andy Dillon Recall effort, and legislation he authored relating to third-party ballot access were cited as reasons for the award.

Drolet was attacked by opponents for his vote against placing a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage on the 2006 ballot[12] and for his opposition to the drug war.
