Tiffany Henyard, an embattled former mayor of a small suburban village south of Chicago, has her sights set on re-starting her political career — but this time, she’s running for office in Georgia.
Henyard is running as a Republican for a position on Georgia’s Fulton County Board of Commissioners in the upcoming primary election, according to the Georgia Secretary of State website.
“It’s your favorite ‘Super Mayor,’ Tiffany A. Henyard, like I said — the people’s everything — and yes, I am now a Georgia peach,” she said in a video on social media on Wednesday. “Yes, that’s me.”
Henyard referenced her Georgia campaign in the 34-minute livestream on Facebook several times.
“This is project phoenix in the making, and project phoenix is me rising, me showing the world what it looks like to come out of controversy,” she said shortly before starting to sing along to Mariah Carey’s hit 2009 song “Obsessed” while referencing news coverage of her several controversies while in office.
Despite an ongoing federal probe into her spending of taxpayer dollars as Dolton mayor, Henyard is qualified to run for the District 5 seat on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, according to the Georgia Secretary of State website.
She is listed as a business owner and Republican candidate on the Secretary of State’s qualifying candidate search feature. March 5 is the day she qualified, according to the website.
Last year, Henyard lost her re-election campaign for Mayor of Dolton to by an overwhelming margin to Jason House, a former ally to her administration. Of the 4,400 votes cast in the election, Henyard received 536, while House collected 3,896.
Throughout her time as mayor, Henyard was no stranger to controversy.
An investigation was launched in 2024 after residents expressed strong concern over how their taxpayer dollars were being spent, with many accusing Henyard of withholding that information from the public.
Some of the key finding from the investigation were more than $218,000 spent on Amazon using village credit cards from January 2021 through June 2024, more than $170,000 in travel-related costs for the same time period, and credit card expenditures that were never approved and had no receipts, according to former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who spearheaded the investigation.
Henyard also made headlines for several lawsuits toward the end of her time as mayor and after her re-election loss, and she is the subject of an ongoing federal investigation into the spending of taxpayer money in Dolton.
An hour-long documentary from NBC Chicago titled “Super Mayor: The Cost of Chaos in Dolton,” dives into her rise to power and the controversies that unraveled throughout her time as mayor.
