Build a Solid Economic Future for Upstate New York.

We are fortunate to have among the most beautiful landscapes and undeveloped places in America. The Catskills, the Adirondacks, our Finger Lakes and Southern Tier regions are drawing visitors from all over the country and the world. Tourism is the state’s 3rd largest employer, generating a record $114.8 Billion in 2018.

Our clean air and sparkling waters must be protected, as the irreplaceable assets they are. If we continue to support and promote our agricultural resources, our small farmers, craft breweries, orchards and more, we can help sustain and redevelop our traditional agricultural economy while protecting natural resources for the health of the planet.

Unlike the mill and factory jobs that foreign competition and automation have taken away, these green jobs are local and cannot be outsourced.
