Michael Rees is the Gloucestershire County councillor for Cam Valley. He won the division for Reform UK at the county elections of 1 May 2025.
He stood for Reform twice more in Stroud District Council by-elections, in Thrupp in March 2026 and in Kingswood on 2 September 2026, and was not elected in either.
