About Jim Lembke
- Jim Lembke (born July 24, 1961) was a Republican member of the Missouri Senate, representing the 1st District from 2009 to 2013.
- Previously he was a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 2003 through 2008.
- In 2011, Lembke led a filibuster over the state accepting extended unemployment benefits from the federal government, effectively cutting off those benefits until an agreement cut state benefits to 20 weeks from 26 weeks.
- The move was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, as the state was not required to pay anything for the extended benefits.[1] He was the only Republican representing a significant portion of St.
- Louis City in the state legislature.
- He was defeated by Democrat Scott Sifton in 2012.[2]
