A scandal-plagued Democratic mayor who moved from Illinois to Georgia to run as a Republican is now admitting she moved before she even concluded her term as mayor.

According to WGN 9, "Tiffany Henyard’s fight to remain on the ballot in Georgia revealed she continued to collect money from two elected positions in Illinois even after she said she moved to Atlanta. 'My residency is real, lawful, and supported by the evidence,' Henyard told members of the Fulton County, Georgia, board of elections. They were examining whether she met the one-year residency requirement to hold office in Georgia."

Henyard is seeking a position on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, as a Republican, after she had served as the Democratic mayor of Dolton, Illinois, a small community immediately south of Chicago, where she called herself the "Super Mayor."

During her time in office, Henyard racked up a number of scandals, including allegations she mismanaged the village's finances, and got into a physical fight at a Thornton Township board meeting between her boyfriend and a community activist who called her a slur. She was overwhelmingly defeated in a landslide primary vote in February 2025.

After that loss, she "continued to hold office until the new mayor was sworn in on May 5, 2025. She was also the Supervisor of Thornton Township until her successor took over on May 19, 2025," said the WGN 9 report. "When a member of the elections board asked how she could hold office in Illinois while living in Georgia, she responded: 'I was a lame duck. I couldn’t do anything.'"

A number of politicians have faced allegations that they don't actually live in the places they represent, with one of the most prominent cases being Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who has been accused of secretly living in Florida.
