McBrayer to host Coffee with the Mayor Monday at Lubbock Citizens Tower - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
Lubbock Mayor Mark McBrayer will host the first Coffee with the Mayor event Monday, Aug.
McBrayer and members of the Lubbock City Council are opening the event to all districts, meaning you don't have to live in a particular part of town to walk in. The format is one-on-one conversations between residents and the mayor or their council representative, so this isn't a town hall where you raise your hand and hope to get called on.
The city plans to hold Coffee with the Mayor once a month through 2026, giving folks a recurring, low-barrier way to put a concern directly in front of an elected official without filing a public comment or waiting for a council meeting. If you've got something on your mind about your street, your neighborhood, or city services, this is the room to say it.
Citizens Tower is a short drive from the Tech campus and easy to reach from most parts of the city.
