James M. "Jim" LeMunyon (/lɛˈmʌnjən/; born March 12, 1959) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, politician, and Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing Virginia's 67th district since 2010.
LeMunyon served as chief of staff to Representative Ed Zschau, deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and co-founded Sterling Semiconductor (now a unit of Dow Corning).[1]
He defeated incumbent Democrat Chuck Caputo on November 3, 2009.[2][3]
House of Delegates[edit]
In addition to his committee assignments, LeMunyon also serves on three state-sponsored commissions: Transportation Accountability, Public-Private Partnerships, and the Code Commission.
In February of 2010, LeMunyon and fellow freshman delegate Mark Keam, a Democrat, authored an op-ed in The Washington Post about their introduction of a bill to the General Assembly, which would make the voting records of General Assembly members more accessible to the public. The bill passed the House of Delegates 86 to 13 earlier that month, and has not yet been voted on in the State Senate.[4]
LeMunyon is an outspoken advocate for using a constitutional convention to address federal budget issues.[5] In 2010, he introduced a bill in the Virginia House calling for a convention for this purpose.[6]
