Together for Riverina is calling for nominations for a community independent candidate who can put people before politics to run in the Riverina electorate in the 2025 Federal Election.
We’re inspired by the impact of community independents in the federal parliament and are looking for a local member who can listen to all community concerns and unite our new electorate.
Have you ever thought about running for federal parliament?
We are inviting people to express interest if they have:
demonstrated connection to community
effective listening and communication skills
demonstrated commitment to openness, transparency and integrity
demonstrated ability to collaborate and negotiate to achieve positive outcomes
commitment to evidence-based solutions to problems facing our community
demonstrated achievement in their work and/or community life.
The process will include participating in an online Meet the Candidates forum on 11 December with community feedback being considered by a Selection Committee that includes three members of the Together for Riverina Steering Committee.
The successful candidate will be announced before Christmas, and once endorsed will be responsible for running and funding their own campaign.
Applications close: 8pm, Friday 6 December, 2024.
