Latest News about Tiffany Henyard
Tiffany Henyard announced a political comeback by running as the lone Republican candidate for Fulton County Commission District 5 in South Fulton County, Georgia. She faces four Democratic opponents in the race. The move comes after her losses in Illinois elections and follows years of controversy surrounding her earlier roles in Dolton and Thornton Township.
Henyard lost her re-election bid for Thornton Township Supervisor to Illinois State Senator Napoleon Harris. A Cook County judge also dismissed her lawsuit challenging Harris's Democratic nomination, which kept her off the ballot for that race. In a separate civil case, she was ordered to pay $10,000 after her former landlord accused her and her ex-boyfriend of unpaid rent.
Henyard was involved in a physical confrontation at a Thornton Township Board of Trustees meeting after activist Jedidiah Brown criticized her and her allies. The altercation escalated with table flipping and damaged equipment, and Henyard was knocked to the ground during the disturbance.
