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


Election Day for a pair of high-profile municipal runoffs is Saturday.

Former city councilmen Steve Massengale and Mark McBrayer are competing 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 face off 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 a Lubbock small business owner who was first elected to the council in 2016 when he unseated then-Mayor Pro Tem Jim Gerlt. He was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2020. Massengale previously served on the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees.

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

Voters in some jurisdictions will also choose appraisal district directors, school board members or town aldermen.
