Farraway to run for Calare

Sam Farraway has announced he will step down from NSW Parliament in November to stand as the Nationals candidate for the seat of Calare. "I will deliver my valedictory speech in the November sitting before formally resigning from the Parliament," he announced in a statement last week. "It has been an incredible honour to serve in the NSW Parliament, where I’ve held various roles, including Deputy Government Whip, Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Minister and Shadow Minister. "Now, I believe the best way to deliver for our community is to represent them as their Federal MP." Mr Farraway said one of his proudest achievements had been getting the Betterment Fund, which provides essential funding to rebuild regional transport and road infrastructure stronger after natural disasters. "To my colleagues and friends, both in and out of Parliament, I extend my deepest gratitude," he said. "Your friendship, encouragement and belief in me has helped me through some of the toughest moments and have made the wins even sweeter. "I leave knowing that the work we’ve done will continue to make a difference in the lives of people across the state. "Thank you to everyone who has believed in me, and to the people of the Central West—you will always have my deepest respect and appreciation. "And lastly, to my family—my mum, sister and brothers—you’ll never know how much your love and support has meant to me. I owe everything to you, and I know you’ll be there with me in this next journey."
