State Representative LaMar Lemmons, Jr. has the distinction of being the senior member of one of the few father-son teams to ever serve in the Michigan House of Representatives during the same session. While he represents the residents of the 2nd House District, his son, Lamar Lemmons, III represented the residents of the 3rd House District. LaMar Lemmons, Jr. was born June 23, 1936 in Mississippi and raised in Memphis Tennessee. He moved to Detroit in 1950 where he attended Detroit Public Schools. At the age of seventeen, Lemmons joined the United States Air Force and bravely served his country for almost four years. His service time included a tour of duty at Ashiya Air Force Base, Japan. Upon receiving an honorable discharge from military service, Lemmons returned to Detroit to work for the Ford Motor Company. He later worked and retired from the Eppert Oil Company.
Rep. Lemmons is the owner of Lemmons Transportation, a company that provides drivers and chauffeurs for businesses. Lemmons is the father of four children; Lamar Lemmons, III being the oldest. He attended the Detroit Institute of Technology and is a member of the East Side Business Alliance. Mr. Lemmons college experience was coupled with holding down a full time job which obviated any involvement with interests groups. Rep. Lemmons' son, former State Representative LaMar Lemmons III, (now term limited) is the political force that served as launching pad for his father's political career. After years of being an ardent supporter of his son's political endeavors, Representative Lemmons decided to carry on his son's political mission.
