Monday was the filing deadline for candidates to run in the May Municipal elections in Texas.

In the City of Lubbock election, Tom Martin will run again for Mayor, challenged by Glen Robertson. In District 2, Councilman Floyd Price is currently running unopposed. In the District 4 race, current Councilman Paul R. Beane will face off against James Gerlt.

Also, Dwight Fullingim held a press conference at 4 p.m. Monday at City Hall to announce his candidacy for District 4. The Lubbock County Appraisal District website lists Dwight and Frances Fullingim’s address as 4807 87th Street in Lakeridge since 2006, which is the property for which Fullingim has a homestead exemption listed. That particular homesteaded property is in District 5. There is a property listed under the name J. Worth Fullingim located at 3024 67th Street, which was owned by Dwight Fullingim’s brother who died in January of this year. Fullingim used the 67th Street address on his filing Monday afternoon, which is located in District 4. City Secretary Becky Garza said that her office does not have the authority to investigate anything past what is listed on the filing.
