Your Neighbors' Questions
Ask Miller and Cochran a question
We're sending the five strongest reader-submitted questions to both candidates next Friday. Answers will run, verbatim, in our June 14 Sunday issue — two days before you vote.
Editorial rules: we publish identical treatment for both candidates with the same deadline. Curation is on substance, not party. We exclude personal attacks, off-topic, or duplicate questions. Selected questions are paraphrased only for length and clarity — never to change meaning.

The Roundabout's Five Questions
Sent to both candidates on May 23 with a Friday, June 5 5 PM ET deadline. Answers will be published verbatim, with no editing or commentary. Candidates who do not respond by the deadline will be noted as "Did not respond."
- Property tax relief — name one specific policy lever you'd pull in your first session, and how you'd fund it.
- HD47 covers Milton's largest equestrian community and some of its fastest-growing commercial corridors. Give a concrete example of how you'd balance preservation pressure against growth pressure in your first year.
- Birmingham Crossroads is state-controlled but Milton residents sit in it. What's your specific plan as our state representative?
- Name one bill from the prior session you would have voted differently on than the incumbent, and why.
- After the election, what is the one accountability practice — town halls, office hours, public votes log — you commit to so Milton residents can hold you to your platform?
