Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson announced in January 2015 that he was considering running against Neugebauer in the 2016 Republican primary. He cited unhappiness with what he said was Neugebauer's failure to bolster the cotton industry.[8] In March, Robertson said that he would not run for Congress and instead run once more for mayor.[9]
After Neugebauer decided to retire, Robertson entered the congressional race and withdrew from consideration for another term as mayor.
None of the nine candidates obtained a majority in the Republican primary on March 1. Robertson led the field but had to face a run-off challenge against Arrington.
Arrington had trailed Robertson by fewer than one thousand votes in the first round, but he won the run-off.
No Democrat faced Arrington in the general election, leaving only Libertarian and Green opposition.
