Donald J. Mitchell (1923–2003) was a Republican U.S. Congressman from New York who served from 1973 to 1983. A World War II Army veteran, he later became involved in local politics and served in the New York State Assembly before his election to Congress. During his time in the House of Representatives, Mitchell focused on veterans’ affairs, defence, and agriculture, reflecting the needs of his upstate New York constituency. Known for his moderate Republican views, he was respected for his pragmatic approach to legislation. After leaving Congress, he remained active in public service and community affairs until his death.
