Lang Taylor, Ltd is a public affairs and political consulting firm in Providence, RI, that helps leaders in all fields find their voice and be heard. We offer strategic development and communications services to corporate, nonprofit, government and individual clients, and have a full-service practice area in political campaigns. We are proud to offer our clients our unique expertise in mission discernment, the crafting of clear, authentic, persuasive messaging, and the development of effective media plans.

Ian Lang has extensive experience in political campaigns, federal and state government, and organizational development. Prior to cofounding Lang Taylor, Lang served as campaign manager for Senator Lincoln Chafee’s reelection effort. As Campaign Manager, Lang developed and managed an earned and paid media strategy that resulted in an over sixty-percent approval rating for Senator Chafee on Election Day, and led the direct mail and phone get-out-the-vote effort, which set a record for Republican primary voter turnout in Rhode Island, eclipsing the old mark by more than 30 percent.

Lang’s experience also includes involvement in the launch of First Focus, a national bipartisan child and family advocacy organization affiliated with America’s Promise, and service as the Chief of Staff at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, where he oversaw the daily policy and management activities for the 3,000-person agency.

Catherine Taylor served the Chafees in the Senate for 20 years, both in Washington and Rhode Island, first as a legislative assistant for defense and foreign policy for Senator John Chafee. She became speechwriter during the intensive effort to enact health care reform in 1993-4, and then moved to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in 1995 to serve as speechwriter to Chairman Chafee. She served as speechwriter and senior editor on the staff of Senator Lincoln Chafee for his entire Senate tenure.

Taylor’s writing has appeared in numerous publications, including the Providence Journal, the Washington Post, The Hill and The New York Times. Taylor also has extensive experience with running nonprofit boards and committees, fundraising, and strategic planning.

A century ago, the cloth woven by Lang’s and Taylor’s families at the Lorraine Mill helped to sustain an era of unprecedented prosperity in Rhode Island. At Lang Taylor, we are continuing in that tradition, this time weaving together strategies for our clients to use to tell their unique and compelling stories.
