Dolton Mayor’s Race Heats Up as Primary Election Nears
A Controversial Mayor’s No-Show at Board Meeting
On the eve of the primary election in the village of Dolton, Mayor Tiffany Henyard was nowhere to be found. The controversial politician, who is under federal investigation, was a no-show at Monday night’s board meeting in Thornton Township, where she serves as supervisor.
A Challenger with a Fresh Perspective
Jason House, the person hoping to unseat the current mayor, is a former Henyard ally who has been a Dolton trustee since 2017. House has promised transparency and an end to both wasteful spending and negative national attention.
“We have seen four years of failure, and we cannot continue down this path,” he said. “We want to make sure we can change the narrative and show people what this community is really made of.”
The Campaign’s Focus on Change
House’s campaign is focused on bringing about change in Dolton, with a promise to restore trust and accountability in local government. He has criticized Henyard’s leadership, saying that it has led to a lack of transparency and accountability in village government.
“As of the last count on Sunday, 1,448 votes had been cast,” said House. “We’re not just talking about change, we’re taking action to make it happen.”
The Primary Election and What’s at Stake
The primary election is taking place on Tuesday, with the winner facing off against independent candidate Casundra Hopson in April. Whoever emerges victorious will have the opportunity to lead the village of Dolton in a new direction.
