He has described himself as the \u201cpro-growth\u201d candidate.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we need somebody in the city council seat that has that experience of growth, that knows what direction the city is growing,\u201d Green said. \u201cBringing in new revenue, different streams of revenue, lessen the burden off of our current taxpayers. Growth and new revenue lessens the burden and helps lower taxes and that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Boren points to experience in keeping costs down<\/p>\n Boren is running on experience. He previously served on the Lubbock City Council in the early 2000s, on the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees, and currently serves on the Brazos River Authority.<\/p>\n Boren won a court decision against the city of Lubbock to appear on the ballot after the city challenged whether he had lived in District 4 long enough.<\/p>\n \u201cI have four years experience with water, electric, development, public safety, I know what to do and we\u2019ve been through this before,\u201d Boren said. \u201cAnd if we don\u2019t do this the cost to a homeowner is going to be tremendous, your taxes will go up, and I know how to hold those costs down. Your electric costs are already out the ceiling, you have the highest electric costs in the state of Texas, we\u2019ve got over a billion dollars of debt, I need to get in there and help protect our homeowners.\u201d<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 KCBD.
