Stephanie Ann Miner (born April 30, 1970) is an American attorney, politician, and former Mayor of Syracuse, New York.

In 2018, Miner ran unsuccessfully for Governor of New York on the newly created Serve America Movement line.

[1][2] Miner became involved in politics at an early age by stuffing envelopes for local candidates at her grandmother's kitchen table in the Eastwood neighborhood.

[1][2] In her first run for public office in 2001, Miner ran for one of two at-large Syracuse Common Council seats that were up for election.

[9] As a Common Councilor, Miner championed and helped pass legislation that gave $1 million in initial funding to Say Yes to Education, a program that provides necessary support services for Syracuse City School Districts students and promises free or reduced college tuition to students who graduate from City high schools.

[14] In 2014, Miner announced that since she took office in 2010, the city had reversed the general funds deficit trend and achieved an $8.4 million budget surplus in the fiscal year ending in 2012.

[16] In 2012, Miner announced that Robert Congel did not plan to build a promised future Destiny USA expansion, including a hotel and more retail space.

However, Miner added that Congel would not have to pay property taxes or PILOT payments on the Carousel Center expansion or the original mall for 30 years under the terms of a 2007 agreement forged by former mayor Matt Driscoll.

[17] In 2014, Miner and County Executive Joanie Mahoney received a letter from Destiny signaling their intent to build a 252-room hotel.

Destiny received a 30-year break on local taxes after it promised to build a LEED Platinum, 39-story, 1,342- room "Emerald 5 ShowTel and Conference Center."

[30] According to The New York Times, Miner, "once an ally of Mr. Cuomo's, became something of an outlier in Democratic circles when she emerged as a vocal and persistent critic of the governor and his policies, beginning five years ago and culminating now in a direct challenge as he seeks a third term.

[1][35] Following her mayoral tenure, Miner was awarded the Charles Evans Hughes Visiting Chair of Government and Jurisprudence in the Department of Political Science position at Colgate University.
