Integrity & Core Values

Independent. Accountable. Community-Driven.

At the heart of James Gooden’s campaign is a commitment to honest, respectful, and transparent leadership. James believes that the people of the Riverina deserve more than party spin — they deserve a representative who listens, acts with integrity, and puts the needs of their region first.

Our Core Values

Integrity in Action
We believe that trust is earned through actions, not words. James is committed to ethical decision-making, transparency in communication, and standing firm on principle — even when it's not politically convenient.

Community First
James is accountable to the people of the Riverina, not to party bosses, lobbyists or donors. Every policy, decision, and vote will reflect the values, needs and concerns of the people who live and work here.

Transparency & Accountability
James will always be open about where he stands — and why. No backroom deals, no hidden agendas. Just honest, straight-forward representation.

Respectful Politics
Politics should never be about division and personal attacks. James is committed to respectful discourse, collaboration, and finding common ground to get real results for the Riverina.

Independence Matters
Running without ties to political parties or major donors gives James the freedom to speak up when it counts — and to always vote in the best interests of our communities.
