He currently serves as Chair of the National Lieutenant Governor’s Association (NLGA) Executive Committee and Vice Chair of the Aerospace States Association (ASA). Lamb is an Enid native and earned his bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma State University and his law degree from Oklahoma City University School of Law.

He served in the Oklahoma Senate beginning in 2004 and in 2009 he became the first Republican Majority Floor Leader in state history. In addition, he was a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service and in early 2001 was appointed to the national Joint Terrorism Task Force. He got his start working on the campaign staff for gubernatorial candidate Frank Keating and then worked in Keating’s administration.
