Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard filed a lawsuit against her political rival after being kept off the ballot for the Thornton Township supervisor Democratic caucus.
Dolton 'Super Mayor' Tiffany Henyard is planning to fight back after losing the Democratic nomination for Thornton Township supervisor, a position she currently holds. Henyard did not qualify for the Dec. 3 caucus because she did not have a certified assessor on her ticket, a requirement for all nominees. She objected to the proceedings that night, then claimed, 'It was voter suppression,' in an interview Thursday.
What happened to us on Dec. 3 was short of fairness,' Henyard said. 'We didn’t have our opportunity to be heard.' 'On Dec. 3, 2024, your right to vote was hijacked by your committeeman, Sen. Napoleon Harris,' she claimed. 'Put some respect on my name because I am loved throughout Thornton Township,' she told supporters, according to FOX 32. 'That's why I keep going. That's why I have never ever gave up.
Though she is not the Democratic nominee, Henyard could still be on the ballot in April for Thornton Township supervisor as a write-in or independent candidate. During a township electoral board meeting on Friday, she insisted, 'The people will put me on the ballot.' Henyard is currently running for re-election as Dolton mayor as she faces several ongoing scandals for allegedly embezzling funds and politically targeting her opponents.
