Young was appointed as county commissioner of Tulsa County's second district in 1976 and was later elected to a full term that year.[1][2] He was reelected in 1978[3] and 1982.[2]
In 1984, Young was elected Mayor of Tulsa by a 924 vote margin against incumbent mayor Jim Inhofe.[2] He served one term as mayor between 1984 and 1986. He negotiated the land exchange with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to build OSU-Tulsa and allocated $10 million dollars to expand the Gilcrease Museum.[4]
As mayor, he created a flood control program in response to the 1984 flood. The program was controversial because of its home buyout element.[5]
