Lambert began his political career as the Gonzales town attorney. Then in the 1971-1972 election cycle, he won a state Senate seat which then included Ascension, Livingston, and St. James parishes. At the age of thirty-one, he succeeded by state Senator George T. Oubre, who ran unsuccessfully for [[attorney general]] in the Democratic primary. The position instead went to [[William J. Guste]], of New Orleans.

However, Lambert resigned halfway through that Senate term (when he had also been a constitutional convention delegate) after his election to the PSC. The regulatory body expanded from three to five members under the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 which Lambert helped to write. Lambert won the PSC District 3 seat based about Baton Rouge.
