Stephanie Ann Miner (born April 30, 1970) is an American attorney, Democratic politician, and current mayor of Syracuse, New York, the first woman to hold the office. She is often described as a potential candidate for Governor of New York in the upcoming 2018 election.
Stephanie A. Miner is the 53rd Mayor of the City of Syracuse. Mayor Miner was first elected in 2009 and re-elected in 2013 with 68% of the vote. Mayor Miner is the first woman elected Mayor of Syracuse and the first women to lead one of New York's "Big 5" cities.
Born on April 30, 1970, she became involved in politics at an early age by stuffing envelopes for local candidates at her grandmother's kitchen table in the Eastwood neighborhood. Miner was born in Syracuse, New York, to Edward Miner, MD, a physician and an army officer, and Dianne Cooney, a nurse and current dean of the Wegman School of Nursing at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York.
Miner attended high school in Homer, New York, where she was senior class president and voted most likely to succeed. She received her B.A., magna cum laude, in journalism and political science from Syracuse University in 1992, and her J.D. from the University at Buffalo Law School in 1999.
In 1994, she served as a regional representative for then-governor of New York Mario Cuomo. Upon graduating from law school, she was hired at the Syracuse law firm Blitman and King LLP, where she worked until resigning in March 2009, to focus on her mayoral campaign. Miner began her political career in 2001, when she was elected to the Syracuse Common Council. She was re-elected in 2005.
