Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7, Place 2: Melanie Miles
Melanie Miles: ★★★★ — A board-certified family law attorney with the steel to overhaul an “eviction mill,” Miles is the most battle-tested choice to bring accountability to a court that has grown stagnant.
Sharon Burney: ★★ — While she carries a storied local name, the incumbent’s mercurial demeanor and hostility to legal aid suggests a judge disconnected from the job voters elected her to do.
