About Upstate United

Who We Are

Upstate United is a non-partisan, pro-taxpayer, pro-economic growth and pro-Upstate education and advocacy coalition made up of business and trade organizations from across Upstate New York.

Our Goal

Our mission is to advocate for fiscally responsible policies that support a vibrant upstate economy. Through controlled spending, reduced taxes, and regulatory reforms, we can encourage economic growth and sustainable communities throughout Upstate New York.

As Albany becomes increasingly dominated by downstate interests, Upstate United is recognized as the leading advocacy organization for Upstate communities and taxpayers. Utilizing aggressive media and advocacy efforts, Upstate United has consistently demonstrated an ability to raise awareness on key issues and achieve meaningful impacts on policy outcomes.
