Former embattled Democratic mayor in Illinois running as GOP candidate in Georgia

An embattled former Democratic mayor is running for an open county commission seat in Georgia as a Republican.

Tiffany Henyard, the former mayor of Dolton, Ill., is running as the lone Republican in the Fulton County Commission race to represent southern portions of the county in District 5. She has four Democratic opponents.

Henyard was the first woman to serve as mayor of the Chicago suburb and first woman to serve as supervisor of Thornton Township.

But her tenure as mayor was plagued with scandal, and she faced constant criticism including being labeled the “worst mayor” in the country.
