He was elected as a pro-Treaty Sinn Féin TD at the 1922 general election.[3] Joining the National Army in June 1922, he resigned from the Defence Forces in August 1923 while serving at the rank of Captain to stand as a Cumann na nGaedheal candidate in the Roscommon constituency at the 1923 general election. Lavin lost his seat at the June 1927 general election, and was also an unsuccessful candidate at the September 1927 general election.
