Lubbock business owner Tim Green announces his candidacy for Lubbock City Council District 4 Special Election to be hosted in late June on April 8, 2026 in Lubbock, Texas. - The Lufkin Daily News

The District 4 seat holds significant influence over daily life for thousands of residents. Its representative helps shape city policy on everything from managing traffic flow near Texas Tech to approving new developments along 19th Street. A recent resignation prompted this particular election. A new voice will join the council mid-term.

Green's entry ensures District 4 voters will have a clear choice with a business-focused perspective on economic development and city spending. His platform likely emphasizes fiscal responsibility and efficient city services. This offers a different approach to ongoing infrastructure needs or downtown revitalization efforts. A special election always compresses the campaign timeline, so candidates will hit the ground running hard.
