Catharine M. Young or Cathy Young is a Republican New York State Senator from Olean, Cattaraugus County.

In 2006 Young faces a poorly funded challenger. Young's campaign war chest is a whopping $260,649.

According to Rachel Leon, New York Common Cause director, the high contribution limits set by the New York state campaign finance laws permit politicians to build reserves. Some 55% of the campaign donations in the 2002, 2004 and 2006 election cycles were for more than $2,100.
