Former embattled Democratic mayor in Illinois running as GOP candidate in Georgia

An embattled former Democratic mayor is running for an open county commission seat in Georgia as a Republican.

Tiffany Henyard, the former mayor of Dolton, Ill., is running as the lone Republican in the Fulton County Commission race to represent southern portions of the county in District 5. She has four Democratic opponents.

Henyard was the first woman to serve as mayor of the Chicago suburb and first woman to serve as supervisor of Thornton Township.

But her tenure as mayor was plagued with scandal, and she faced constant criticism including being labeled the “worst mayor” in the country.

Upon leaving the helm of local leadership in Dolton, a financial investigation revealed the municipality’s bank account was in a $3.6 million deficit, according to Fox News Digital.

Former scandal-plagued Illinois 'super mayor' eyes political comeback as a Republican in Georgia

The former embattled Democratic mayor of a Chicago suburb is running for a seat in Georgia as a Republican after relocating to the area following her scandal-plagued tenure in office.

Tiffany Henyard, who once declared herself a "super mayor," is the lone GOP candidate for South Fulton County's District 5 on the Fulton County Commission, according to election records.

She is facing off against four Democratic opponents.

Henyard has a contentious political history. She made national headlines in 2024 after officials in her administration were served with subpoenas from the FBI in response to an alleged corruption investigation.

She was never charged.

While serving as the mayor of Dolton, Illinois, she came under fire over corruption allegations and financial mismanagement of village funds.

A financial probe reportedly revealed that the village of Dolton's bank account fell from its initial $5.6 million balance to a $3.6 million deficit.

While mayor, the village was delinquent in filing annual financial reports and audits with the state comptroller’s office.

Amid corruption allegations among officials, residents accused her of using village funds as her own piggy bank by billing taxpayers thousands of dollars for her hair and makeup team, as well as going on a lavish trip to Las Vegas................

 I suffered the same problem as @libertybele ~ I didn't know what to do with this story. 

   So, I put it in the Illinois State cat.

I remember this entitled err.... politician.... CrayZee Cray Cray with a boyfriend in tow. Not sure her angle with running Republican, perhaps she figures they (Pubs) are so weak she could find her way to the finish line vs the democrat (and somehow pull an upset).

That seems to be exactly what she's up to.

She's not bad looking...she might pull it off!  Unless people read about her....

Wait till they hear her speak.  She puts Ghetto Barbie ebonics to shame.

I've never heard her speak, but I understand she's racist as all get-out.  Probably has a white boyfriend/beard.  I guess she's unopposed in the Primary....

LIV won't do any research.  They'll vote because she has an 'R' next to her name and they'll vote for her because she's black.
