Former Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard has switched her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican to run for a seat in Georgia after a career full of scandals and questionable behavior.
Henyard is running for Fulton County Board of Commissioners in District five according to election filings. She will be competing against four Democratic candidates for the seat. The former mayor has not made any public statements about her campaign yet.
However, given her history, it won’t be easy for her to win this seat once voters are made aware of the string of scandals she was involved in during her tenure as Dolton mayor.
Henyard served as mayor from 2021 to 2025 and referred to herself as a “super mayor.” In reality, she was probably the most corrupt mayor in the nation.
For starters, she is alleged to have spent taxpayer funds for her personal expenses and mismanaged the city’s finances. In fact, she was so mired in corruption that the city hired former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate her. The probe found that the village’s general fund balance dropped from $5.61 million in April 2022 to a deficit of $3.65 million by May 2024, according to Fox News.
Henyard allegedly used the village credit card to shop at stores like Amazon, Target, Walgreens, and Wayfair. In fact, she ran up about $779,000 worth of purchases on the credit card in 2023 with no receipts to explain the purchases, Fox 32 Chicago reported.
