Fulton County Elections Board to Decide on Tiffany Henyard's Candidacy Amid Residency Dispute
The Fulton County elections board is set to review the candidacy of Tiffany Henyard, a former mayor from Dolton, Illinois, who is now running for a seat on the Fulton County commission in Georgia. The board's decision comes after a previous meeting was postponed due to a failure to notify Henyard. The central issue is whether Henyard meets the residency requirements necessary to run for the District 5 seat, which has been held by Marvin Arrington, Jr. since 2014. Henyard, who served as Dolton's mayor from 2021 to 2025, has faced scrutiny in Illinois over her administration's financial practices. She asserts that she has established her residency in Georgia since May 2025, having secured a residence, opened a business, and engaged with the community. Henyard claims the challenge to her candidacy is an attempt to silence her and prevent her from participating in the election.
