Charlie Franklin. With stakes centered on property taxes, fiscal responsibility, and county spending, Miller and Qualls both champion tax reform but differ on tactics — Miller leans into charter changes and executive limits, while Qualls pushes for specific tax cuts and an outside audit. Democrats Rowland and Hernandez bring contrasting priorities: Rowland calls the current tax assessment system a “debacle,” while Hernandez focuses on housing, public safety, and health equity. Whoever wins will face off in November — and voters are clearly watching closely to see who can best manage the county’s finances and serve their communities.
