Three years later, in 2010, Farraway met John Cobb, the then-federal Nationals MP for Calare, prior to the 2010 federal election. Again, Farraway helped out with the election campaign and became the booth captain, performing the same tasks as he did for Bartlett’s campaign. Cobb comfortably retained his seat in the election.
Sam Farraway joined the Nationals after Cobb’s recommendation in 2012, 18 months after the election. After joining the Nationals, Farraway was the chair of the party’s Bathurst branch, Bathurst State Electoral Council, Calare Federal Electorate Council, and a central executive member of the party.
Farraway was also the campaign manager for Cobb’s election campaign in the 2013 federal election and for Paul Toole’s election campaign in the 2019 New South Wales state election. As of November 2019, he is also the senior vice chair of the NSW Nationals.
Following Cobb’s retirement in February 2016, Farraway unsuccessfully contested the Nationals’ preselection for the federal seat of Calare for the 2016 federal election, who was contested by Andrew Gee instead. During the 2019 half-Senate election in May, Farraway contested unsuccessfully as a candidate for New South Wales in an unwinnable 5th position of the Coalition ticket.
In March 2019, Niall Blair announced his intention to resign from New South Wales Legislative Council and would do so when a replacement was found. Farraway won the party’s preselection in September 2019 to fill Blair’s upcoming vacancy.
Blair resigned from the Council on 16 October 2019, and Farraway was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council the following day on 17 October 2019. In December 2021 Farrawway was sworn in as the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads in the Perrottet ministry.
