Posted • February 26, 2025: Cook County, Ill. — Tiffany Henyard’s tumultuous tenure as mayor of south suburban Dolton is coming to an end, and voters were very clear about ousting her. The incumbent and embattled Henyard lost Tuesday’s Democrat primary to Trustee Jason House by a landslide, with House winning nearly 90% of the vote. With 17 of 17 precincts reported and 100% of the vote counted, per the Cook County Clerk website, House won the primary with 3,896 votes (87.91%), compared to Henyard’s 536 votes (12.09%). In total, 4,446 ballots were cast, equal to 26.94% of the 16,506 registered voters.

Henyard was a no-show at her election-night party Tuesday, just hours after saying she would be victorious. She did, however, tell WGN by phone that she accepted the election result. “The people have spoken,” Henyard said. “God must have a different plan.” Now, Dolton voters will decide on Henyard’s replacement in the consolidated election on April 1, choosing between House and independent candidate Casundra Hopson-Jordan. House is a lifelong resident of the village and has spent eight years serving on the village board. “We faced four years of intimidation, four years of failure, and tonight is a new day for the community of Dolton,” House proclaimed to supporters after defeating Henyard on Tuesday night.
