Meet Barton Lorimor
Publicist + Lobbyist + Analyst
Barton (he/him/his) is a proud husband and father who makes a living managing campaigns, relationships, and strategic initiatives.
Barton started Full Stack Strategies to offer an integrated suite of professional services, but especially executive communications. The practice also sports clients seeking ancillary support during transitional periods, government relations, and reputation management among North American media, remote contributors, and within the Illinois state capital city. In short, he is a consultant less intimidated by the “other duties as assigned.”
Informing the Full Stack endeavor is Barton’s career in media, state and local government, and corporate affairs, including as:
- Senior Strategist, responsible for content and media staff and client services within the Chicago-based firm’s healthcare and public affairs portfolios, at Morreale Communications (2021 – 2024).
- Head of fundraising and corporate partnerships with B2B marketers and legal service providers as Sponsorships Manager of the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education (2018 – 2020).
- A proprietary fiscal policy analyst, special projects portfolio manager, and communications advisor to two Illinois State Comptrollers and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (2011 – 2018).
- Syndicated news reporter, production assistant, and political commentator at CapitolFax.com, Reuters News Agency, the Normalite Newspaper Group, and the former St. Louis Beacon (2004 – 2017).
Barton also has a long history with civic engagement initiatives and political campaigns. No stranger to canvassing neighborhoods throughout the Midwestern United States, organizing call centers, and producing advocacy media, Barton’s personal advocacy has engaged voters across partisan lines in dozens of national, statewide, legislative, and municipal elections. He encourages everyone to get involved in local affairs and to consider being a poll worker on Election Day.
Born and raised in McLean County, Illinois, Barton was a member of the Normal Community West High School graduating Class of 2007. He earned in 2011 a dual bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and married college sweetheart, Jenette, shortly thereafter. Barton and Jen live in Springfield, Illinois, with their active, school-aged daughters.
