Political career

In 2005, Young worked as an intern for Detroit City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson.{{cite web|url=http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2017/10/19/coleman-young-evokes-father-mayor/106819698/|title=Young evokes dad while running for mayor as own man|publisher=Detroit News}} He has also worked for the Detroit City Council Research & Analysis Division.{{cite web|url=http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2017/02/20/colema-young-ii-mayoral-petitions/98169832/|title=Coleman A.

In the 2006 Primary Election, Young ran to fill a vacancy in the 4th District of Michigan's House of Representatives.{{cite web|url=http://www.newsweek.com/can-detroits-mayor-survive-86569|title= Can Detroit's Mayor Survive?|date= January 30, 2008|publisher=Newsweek}}

In 2017, Young ran for Mayor of Detroit. He opened a debate by stating, "I'm Coleman Young the Second, and I’m asking you for your vote. It's time to take back the Motherland for the people." The Detroit Free Press considered the line "offensive" and an indication that Young was unfit to be mayor. "As he stood there, 35 and cocky, but seeming younger, he looked exactly like what he was: a former Subway sandwich employee who came to Detroit, did two political internships and already traded once on the name of his father, the inestimable and beloved Coleman Alexander Young, to run for office," wrote Rochelle Riley.{{cite news |last=Riley |first=Rochelle |date=2017-12-15 |title=Rochelle Riley: Coleman A.

In 2009, Young helped pass HB 4327, the Tisha Prater Act, which guarantees anti-discrimination protections for women affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions. The legislation, named for Detroit Police Officer Tisha Prater, followed a 2008 Federal lawsuit filed when Prater was denied paid leave from work after she told the department that she was pregnant.
