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.
Republican primary
[edit]Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson announced in January 2015 that he was considering running against Neugebauer in the 2016 Republican primary.

After Neugebauer decided to retire, Robertson entered the congressional race and withdrew from consideration for another term as mayor.

On May 6, 2016, Hurd said, “Until the presumptive nominee shows he can respect women and minorities and presents a clear plan to protect our homeland, I am going to reserve my endorsement.
