Ex-Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard Running for Commissioner Seat in Georgia's Fulton County
Tiffany Henyard, facing multiple lawsuits and federal investigations from her Illinois tenure, is the only Republican candidate for Fulton County Board District 5 on May 19.
- Former Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard qualified this week to run as a Republican for the District 5 seat on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, standing as the sole Republican candidate for the May 19 primary.
- Henyard, once dubbed "Super Mayor," faced significant controversy during her Illinois tenure, including alleged financial mismanagement and federal investigations, with residents accusing her of using village funds as a "personal piggy bank."
- An investigation led by Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot concluded Dolton's finances suffered "total collapse," with bank balances falling from $5.6 million to a $3.6 million deficit; audits also revealed more than $218,000 in unapproved Amazon credit card expenditures.
- After losing her 2025 Dolton mayoral reelection campaign to Dolton Trustee Jason House, Henyard moved to Georgia and registered as a Republican, announcing her candidacy on Wednesday in a video where she called herself a "Georgia peach."
- Her campaign faces potential hurdles, as reports suggest Henyard may not meet Georgia's one-year residency requirement for county office, and the Fulton County GOP has not publicly commented on her candidacy ahead of the May 19 primary.
