Incumbent Republican Randy Neugebauer, who had represented the district since 2003, opted to retire. He was re-elected in 2014 with 77 percent of the vote and the district has a PVI of R+26.
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. [15] In March, Robertson said that he would not run for Congress and instead run once more for mayor. [16]
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.
