Scandal-Plagued Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard Loses Primary in Landslide

Jason House secures 88% of the vote, defeating incumbent Henyard after a term marked by financial mismanagement and controversy.

Tiffany Henyard, mayor of Dolton, Illinois, was decisively defeated in the Democratic primary by Trustee Jason House, who received 88% of the vote to her 12%.
Henyard's tenure was marred by allegations of financial mismanagement, lavish spending, and a federal investigation, with a report by Lori Lightfoot highlighting a $9.2 million financial swing from surplus to deficit during her term.
House, a former ally turned critic, campaigned on transparency and reform, vowing to restore trust in Dolton's government and address its financial issues.
Henyard, who also serves as Thornton Township supervisor, has faced multiple lawsuits and public backlash, and her entire slate of candidates lost in the primary.
House will now face independent candidate Casundra Hopson-Jordan in the April 1 general election, with Dolton considered a Democratic stronghold.
