Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard is back on the ballot Tuesday night, confidently predicting a “landslide” despite ongoing accusations of mismanagement and corruption.
Henyard is seeking the Democratic nomination to run again in the Chicago suburb where she has been the self-styled “super mayor” for the past four years.
She is running against a former ally, Jason House, whose slogan is “clean house” — a play on his name as well as the scandals facing his rival in Tuesday’s primary.
Henyard dropped by a voting site on Tuesday morning and predicted that she would win reelection. She arrived to the voting site with a car stereo turned up to a campaign song “We the People.”
“Well, I see no competition, so when I come in with a landslide this evening, [it will] be so great,” Henyard said to gathered media. “Y’all can all come to the after party and we can talk about it.”
“I am confident that I will have a landslide this evening. Our residents do love me despite fake news not showing the good that I do in the community because I do a ton of good. You painted me as bad news for four years,” Henyard said.
