Former corrupt Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard has strategically 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, perhaps due to her belief that a low profile best suits the situation.
However, given her history, it won’t be easy for her to win this seat once voters are made aware of the long 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 "Beetlejuice" 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, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
At a public meeting, Lightfoot said Henyard was "using the credit card and charging these amounts using your tax dollars."
Henyard also allegedly shelled out about $85,000 on a party that featured two musical acts. Dolton Trustee Jason House told ABC7 Chicago, that she "has taken lavish trips with village staff, and has caused the village to be in a multi-million dollar deficit."
Eventually, Henyard's misconduct caught the attention of federal authorities.

Eventually, Henyard's misconduct caught the attention of federal authorities.
The FBI launched an investigation into Henyard after multiple witnesses told agents about her behavior while she was in office. The Bureau served subpoenas at Dolton Village Hall in April 2024, requesting employment records, financial documents, and travel expense records for 25 village employees, including top aide Keith Freeman, who is facing charges for bankruptcy fraud.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Henyard's corruption.
The FBI also investigated allegations that she instructed Dolton police to retaliate against local business owners who refused to donate to her civic events. One owner said police raided his business and shut it down as a form of punishment.
Henyard also faced allegations that she fired an employee who was allegedly sexually assaulted by one of the former mayor's allies.
The FBI was also investigating Henyard's conduct when she served as supervisor in Thornton Township where she faced other allegations of financial misconduct.
The former mayor was also involved in a brawl at Thornton Township during a board meeting in January 2025 when her boyfriend traded blows with a community activist.
At this point, Henyard's list of scandals could probably fill a book. Yet, she seems to believe she can still win office by moving to Georgia and running as a Republican which shows she’s not only corrupt, but also not very bright. Look, folks, this is the kind of political grift that makes you wonder if the woman has a mirror or just a really forgiving one. She tanked a small town, left it drowning in red ink, dodged subpoenas like they were parking tickets, and now she's shopping for a fresh start in a new state with a new party label like it's a wardrobe change.

Georgia voters in Fulton County District 5 might want to Google "super mayor" before they mark any ballots. Spoiler: the results ain't pretty.
