Voters will choose a new Lubbock mayor on Election Day: Here’s what you need to know

Saturday is election day for a pair of high-profile municipal elections.

Former city council members Steve Massengale and Mark McBrayer are vying in a runoff election to become Lubbock’s next mayor after neither received more than 50% of the vote in the May 4 general election. Anna “Anah” Menjares and Gordon Harris will compete to serve four years in the Lubbock City Council District 2 seat currently held by Shelia Patterson Harris, who is not seeking re-election.

Massengale is the former District 4 councilman and small business owner in Lubbock who was first elected to the council in 2016 when he unseated then-Mayor Pro Tem Jim Gerlt. He was re-elected in 2020 for a second four-year term. Massengale previously served on the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees.

McBrayer is the former council member representing District 3 of central Lubbock. He was first elected in 2022 in an uncontested race and served half of his four-year term. He is a local lawyer and entrepreneur.

Voters in some jurisdictions will also choose assessment district directors, school board members or city council members.
