Your Green candidates for Parliament in the next election
Brentwood & Chelmsford Green Party stands candidates for two Parliamentary constituencies in Westminster elections – and we’re ready whenever the current stalled and failing Conservative government decides to call a General Election in 2024 or 2025!
We have selected our two candidates – Reece Learmouth and Reza Hossain following local party ballots.
Reece Learmouth has been selected to represent the Brentwood and Ongar constituency, while Reza Hossain will be standing for the Greens in the Chelmsford constituency.
We look forward to the Election finally being called, and being able to campaign for both Reza and Reece.
Reza Hossain – Chelmsford
Reza has lived in Chelmsford for the past 20 years. He did his training to become a GP in Chelmsford. He now works in the community as a local GP at Little Waltham Surgery, and as a community dermatologist in Mid-Essex. He has a real passion for helping people and caring for the local environment too.
“I was previously the ship medic on board the Greenpeace ice-breaking ship, Arctic Sunrise, on a project in the South Atlantic. I was also the rainforest camp doctor for a Greenpeace project that was located in the Paradise Rainforests of South East Asia. This project helped the local forest communities to develop in a way which maintained the beauty and biodiversity of the forests.
“My experiences abroad have given me a sharp, first-hand insight into the fragile nature of the planet. I think that as humans, and as a society, we should be concerned about the serious issues of climate change, the Sixth Mass Extinction Event of life on earth that has started (as also stated by the UN) and human population growth.
“If we look at present levels of consumption in richer countries, we are over-using the renewable resources of the earth – according to the United Nations. We know that 90 per cent of the world’s wealth and resources is being used by the richest 20 per cent of people on the earth.
“I want to be involved in politics because I hope that we can try to live a modern lifestyle, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment.”
Reece Learmouth – Brentwood & Ongar
Reece grew up in Brentwood and is currently working in the town in the medical profession, so is very familiar with the area.
He is also an accomplished musician, and can often be found at all manner of Essex live music gigs.
An avid environmental activist, Reece is regularly found at Green Action events actively working to improve the open spaces around his area. He is a passionate advocate for women’s rights, is a proud member of the LGBTIQA+ community, and is also a keen cyclist.
Reece believes strongly in echoing the voices from minority groups, ensuring equality and justice for all.
