It is truly an honor to be the mayor of the finest city in America...Lubbock, Texas.  With diverse amenities, interests, and opportunities, "Hub City" residents enjoy a wonderful quality of life. Our citizens' vision, determination, and willingness to work together throughout our brief, but colorful history, have formed a unique historical, industrious, entertaining, recreational, and cultural heritage.

Our legacy ranges from the Spanish conquistadors searching for the Lost Cities of Gold, to the roots of rock-and-roll, educational and medical facilities second-to-none, to sophisticated cutting-edge businesses, and opportunities for all of our citizens willing to work hard for the promises of prosperity as we forge into the 21st Century.

As the private and public sectors partner together in the future, we will continue to be standard bearers of community above self, coupled with an independent, pioneering spirit. These values are demonstrated in our City of Lubbock Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Values Statement created for elected officials, staff members, and volunteers.  These important statements were created by our city council, city management, and community leaders.

Vision Statement:  Partnering to build the model community.

Our vision statement reflects an ideal achievement for all of us to aspire towards each day as we serve the citizens of Lubbock and work together to plan and construct a city that will be an example to other cities throughout our nation.

Mission Statement:  Serve with Humility, Lead with Passion, Commit to Excellence.

As elected officials, city employees, and community volunteers, it is important to always remember that we are here to serve our fellow citizens.  We must accomplish this objective with modesty, enthusiasm, and the desire to be exemplary in word and deed.

Values Statement:  City of Lubbock employees are continuously striving to have an attitude, behavior, and spirit that is positive throughout the organization.  It is that word, SPIRIT, which we use as an acronym, and a reminder, as to why we are here.

S - Service that exemplifies how we should treat all people the way we would want to be treated.

P - Professionalism among our city staff and leadership in which we do the tasks before us with efficiency and effectiveness.

I - Integrity to be forthright and honest in our dealings with the public, other organizations, and each other.

R - Respect and consideration for all constituents, groups, and individuals we may encounter, and work to solve issues with fairness and open debate.

I - Innovation, creativity, and inventiveness when confronting daily decisions that impact the lives and welfare of citizens and commerce.

T - Teamwork in the process of governing and leading while always seeking to find the common good through cooperation and synergy.

The people of Lubbock, our business community, major employers, and the City organization itself are shining examples of what can be accomplished with determination, creativity, and a collaborative spirit.

Lubbock is truly a unique place to live. The combination of good weather, a stable economy, state-of-the-art medical facilities, excellent access to all parts of the city, diverse entertainment and educational opportunities, and its central location all combine to make Lubbock special. The most special thing about Lubbock is our people...friendly, compassionate, and industrious...and who still have that West Texas pioneering spirit.

If you live in Lubbock, thank you for allowing me to serve you. If you don't live in Lubbock, we welcome you and encourage you to visit often...better yet, why don't you come join us on a permanent basis as our newest neighbor. I look forward to welcoming you!
