Controversial Dolton ‘Dictator’ Tiffany Henyard launches reelection bid: ‘She’s not going out without a fight’

The so-called Dolton “Dictator” wants to stay in power.

Tiffan𝓀y Henyard, the self-proclaimed “super mayor” of Dolton, Illinois announced her reelection bid Tuesday — despite facing cou𒈔ntless controversies during her first term that have landed her under federal scrutiny.

“Attention, Attention,🦩 Attention, Attention,” she said on Facebook. “I am running for Reelection for Mayor of Dolton.”

But ♚Henyard, who clinched her first term ꦍin office in 2021, hasn’t done much fundraising leading up to Tuesday’s announcement.

Her campaign, Friends of Tiffany Henyard, didn’t record any contributions or expenses between July and September, according to the most recent campai💫gn disclosure report.  

Henyard, who is facing accusations of misusing taxpayer funds in Dolton, is listed as the treasurer of her campaign. She loaned her campaign $20,000 in March and has nearly $64,00🐈0 in funds, according to campaign fina🎐nce information.

The under-fire leader is set to ✨face off against Dolton board colleague Jason House, who is part of a team of candidates called the Cl𝔍ean House slate. He is running with other incumbent trustees opposed to Henyard.

“We look forward to Election Day and hope the residents will vot𒆙e for us to continue doing the work we have been doing,” House told the

Division in the village has only grown in recent months with Henyard and some board members meeting at different times and places. She stormed into – and then out of – a meeting held by opposing village truജstees last week to jeers and heckling.

Henyard has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to determine village hall as the primary site for municipal business and cancel any official acts taken by other trustees a🍌t the last couple meetings at another l♔ocation,

Dolton and the town of Thornton Township, which Henyard leads as supervisor, was hit with federal su🌳bpoenas earlier this year🐻. Her political committee and charity, along with associates, were also subpoenaed,

The pol has denied wrongdoing.  

Trustee Kiana Belcher, who is running with House, called Henyard’s reelection run “ri🐻diculous,” accu🥀sing the mayor of sowing chaos in the village.

“The community does not want🎐 to contin𒁃ue under her leadership,” Belcher said. “I’m not shocked because I know her, definitely not shocked.”

“Whatever happens, she’s not going out without a fight. That’s one thing I can say, she’s a true fighter so I’m not surprised,” Belcher continued, noting her the slate of candidates would restore decency and orde🧜r.

▨Henyard insisted 💝Dolton voters “will give me their overwhelming support and mandate.”

“They know the truth, and I am committed and determined to continue fighting for my village for the next four years,”
