Only voters in District 4 are able to cast a ballot for this election. In the initial special election, 2,611 people from District 4 cast a ballot, about 7.3% of the registered voters in the district, according to the Lubbock elections office.
There were five candidates on the ballot: Gary Boren, Stephanie Ferran, Tim Green, Bill Curnow, and Boyd Goodloe.
Candidate Bill Kurnow, who received 7% of the vote, issued a statement after the election endorsing Tim Green. Fellow candidates Stephanie Ferran took 4.6% and Boyd Goodloe took 2.7%.
Lubbock City Council District 4 covers portions of South Lubbock, largely between Slide Road and University Avenue.
The special election was initiated due to the resignation of current representative Brayden Rose, who announced he would be stepping down for personal reasons in March.
Rose took office in May 2024. Whoever is elected to take his position will serve out the remainder of his term and a regularly scheduled election will take place in 2028.
