This self-proclaimed “super mayor” is now a super loser.
“Dolton Dictator” Tiffany Henyard suffered a landslide loss in Tuesday’s Democratic primary after more than a year of seedy scandals, wild antics, and haughty remarks finally caught up to her at the ballot box.
The under-fire Illinois mayor finally ran into her kryptonite — voters in her own Chicago suburb, who overwhelmingly picked village Trustee Jason House as the Democratic nominee.

With all precincts reporting, House notched nearly 88% of the vote while Henyard gained a measly 12%, according to Cook County election results.



Earlier Tuesday, Henyard confidently claimed she would easily win, making clear, “I see no competition,” according to Fox 32.

“Come be part of me making history once again,” she crowed on Facebook.
“I’m calling for my base, I’m calling for all the people that love the super mayor, who say you support me, I need you to show up and show out,” Henyard added, a request that apparently fell on deaf ears.

House, who was once an ally of Henyard, told CBS Chicago he was ecstatic as he declared victory.
“The voters have spoken. They’ve spoken in a loud way,” House said.

“And I’ve said it before — I’ll always say it — this does not represent Dolton. We had one rogue individual,” he added in reference to Henyard. “Dolton is proud, and we are happy that we’re ready to change the narrative.”
Meanwhile, Henyard told WGN following the results, “The people have spoken.”
“God must have a different plan for me,” she added, seemingly accepting her defeat.
Leading up to the primary, the 41-year-old pol, who was first elected mayor in 2021, was dogged by an avalanche of damaging accusations and sordid headlines that led to constituent fury.
She faced accusations of overseeing off-the-rails spending, with Dolton village government becoming the focus of an FBI probe last year.
The mayor recently jumped into a raucous brawl at a town board meeting in Thornton, where she serves as supervisor, though she lost the Democratic nomination for that position earlier this year.
She has consistently defended herself against the stinging criticism and accusations, calling it a smear campaign and blasting it as fake news.

“I want to heal my community after this,” the divisive character said online before later arguing there was voter suppression in the village because a polling place was moved.
Henyard’s entire slate of candidates also lost to candidates who ran with House, according to results.
Residents and business owners rejoiced Tuesday night, including Lawrence Gardner, 57, who had alleged Henyard targeted his now-shuttered trucking business because he did not contribute to her campaign coffers.

“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead! It’s over. Now we have to go another eight weeks to bury her,” he told The Post in a message.
“It was just like I was reborn,” he said of the results.
Henyard’s mayoral term will end in May. House is expected to face an independent candidate in April for the general election.

‘Dolton Dictator’ Tiffany Henyard, disgraced Dem ex-mayor, finds herself in more legal trouble​

A Chicago suburb’s former Democratic “super mayor” is facing yet another legal hurdle after failing to produce public records from her time in office after being held in contempt of court earlier this month.

In a hearing on Friday, Tiffany Henyard’s attorney Beau Bridley pleaded the Fifth on his client’s behalf after she was ordered to hand over public records from her time in office.

“The smear campaign against Tiffany Henyard, which began while she was in office, continues even now that she is out of office,” Bridley said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Bridley conceded that the former mayor does not have the requested document, with an Illinois judge allowing Henyard’s legal team to submit an affidavit in its place.


“The mayor has no document that the plaintiff seeks,” Bridley said. “This matter is going to be resolved with a simple affidavit. The whole hearing was much ado about nothing.”

The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by the Edgar County Watchdogs Inc., after the organization sued Henyard and the Village of Dolton for failing to produce financial records after the documents were requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

“We had little doubt Ms. Henyard would use losing the election as an excuse not to produce the documents,” Edward “Coach” Weinhaus, attorney for Edgar County Watchdogs, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Invoking the Fifth Amendment for a criminal investigation was an added wrinkle. The Watchdogs will keep looking for the documents even if the voters might have inadvertently thrown out the documents with the mayor.”

The embattled former mayor was unseated after losing her re-election bid to Jason House, who was sworn in last month.

Henyard was also defeated by Illinois state Sen. Napoleon Harris in her attempt to keep her seat as Thornton Township supervisor.

Henyard was thrust into the national spotlight in April 2024 after officials at Dolton Village Hall were served subpoenas from the FBI following a corruption investigation, FOX 32 Chicago reported.

Henyard, however, was not charged with a crime.

In response to the FBI looking into Henyard’s administration, village trustees voted to hire former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate the former mayor’s spending. At the initial vote, supporters of Henyard clashed with her opponents as the meeting spiraled into a screaming match between groups.

Lightfoot’s investigation reportedly revealed the village’s fund fell from its initial $5.6 million balance to a $3.6 million deficit, with the local government’s credit card bills accumulating a whopping $779,000 balance in 2023.

On the day Henyard lost the mayoral primary, the Village of Dolton was reportedly slapped with a federal subpoena as officials demanded records tied to a land development allegedly tied to Henyard’s boyfriend.

Henyard is required to return for a hearing on June 11, with a judge set to decide if she is to remain in contempt of court while being fined $1,000 per day.
