In front of his family and members of the Lubbock community, a local homebuilder and former fireman officially launched his campaign for Lubbock’s City Council District 4 Special Election.
On Wednesday, April 8, Tim Green announced his candidacy to be the next councilman for District 4 in a special election coming in June.
“I think Lubbock needs business-minded, forward-thinking people that can bring energy to the council,” Green said. “Lubbock is a vibrant, growing town, big city now, and we need that vision, and we need someone that can implement those visions.”
During his announcement, Green laid out his priorities:
District 4 covers central and south central Lubbock with a mix of newer neighborhoods and more established neighborhoods — something Green said he wants to protect.
“They have a lot of different concerns than new-growth areas,” Green said. “If we have more forward-thinking growth, then we can implement infrastructure in a really smart way and not affect some of the older neighborhoods. I don’t want those to get left behind.”
Why is Lubbock hosting a special election for District 4?
Current District 4 Councilman Brayden Rose announced in early March that he had turned in his letter of resignation to the council and mayor, citing family reasons as to why he was resigning.
Rose’s resignation leaves around two years left in his term that needs to be filled through a special election. Therefore, the City of Lubbock ordered a special election to be held in June to fill Rose’s vacancy on the city council.
When is early voting, Election Day for the special-called election?
Early voting will happen from Monday, June 15, through Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
Election Day will be Saturday, June 27, 2026.
