Mayor’s New Press Secretary Cut Her Political Teeth in the Reagan Administration

Whoever said “Politics is a contact sport” probably didn’t mean it was literally a “sport,” but Mayor Sam Liccardo seems to have tapped the sports world for his new Public Information Officer.  Michelle Schmitt Young, a registered Republican,  spent the last four years as the Assistant Athletic Director in charge of Public Relations at Santa Clara University. (Go Broncos!)  Prior to that she worked at the University of South Carolina for 15 years, 5 as Assistant Director of Athletics.  You have to go way back to her military days, in the Army from 1985-1988, after high school and before college, to find her political experience.  Young worked in the White House Telecommunications Center in the White House Communications Agency during the Reagan Administration.  Young starts work at San Jose City Hall May 26.
