Political career

In parliament, Lang serves as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[2] In this capacity, she was – alongside Fannette Charvier – her parliamentary group's rapporteur on l'école de la confiance, legislation introduced by Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer to restructure the French education system from nursery through to middle school.[3]

Political positions

In July 2019, Lang decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[4]

For the 2020 Paris election, Lang went against the party line and endorsed Cédric Villani as a candidate for mayor.[5]
