Mitrano names Paula Younger new campaign manager

Paula Younger

PENN YAN — Ithaca College administrator Paula E. F. Younger has been named campaign manager of Tracy Mitrano’s congressional campaign.

She will begin her duties in June. Mitrano is running to represent New York’s 23rd congressional district.

Younger will take a leave of absence from her position as Ithaca College’s executive director for government and community relations. As Mitrano’s campaign manager, she will oversee all aspects of the campaign.

“This is a rare opportunity to support a stellar candidate by prudently managing a pivotal campaign for our district,” Younger said. “Tracy inspires me. No one builds community by themselves. Tracy is challenging all of us to do better. She’s ready to go, and I’m ready to help her lead the way.”

In addition to her post at Ithaca College, Younger has more than 27 years of management experience. She was deputy county administrator for Tompkins County for about 12 years and spent 15 years in the federal government-contracting arena leading large-scale technical assistance initiatives with a national reach.

“I met Paula 10 years ago when she headed the Tompkins County Legislature’s Broadband Committee,” she said. “Rarely does one find expertise, heart, and energy in one person, and those qualities shine in Paula. She’s a fast learner, full of excitement and humor, and I have no doubt that Paula will take us successfully over the finish line!”
