Lubbock Board of Health Chairman Dr. Brian Carr is considering a run for a seat on the Lubbock City Council.
Carr, a Lubbock psychologist, said he is testing the waters in District 5 to see if the residents of Southwest Lubbock would like to see a change in representation.
Open communication and strong research skills are a few of the qualities Carr said he thinks he can bring to the council.
City Councilwoman Karen Gibson currently holds the District 5 seat and said she intends to run for reelection in May. She was first elected to a four-year term in 2010.
