A northeastern Illinois politician dubbed the “Super Mayor” was defeated by a landslide in Tuesday’s democratic primaries.
Tiffany Henyard (D), mayor of the village of Dolton, ran against Jason House (D). Henyard lost with 536 votes, while House reeled in 3,896, or 87.91% of the votes Tuesday, according to the Cook County Clerk’s Office.
While campaigning, Henyard reminded residents of the repaved streets, alleys and sidewalks she brought to fruition, as well as a $1.5 million grant for infrastructure and a $3 million grant to rebuild Dolton.
Henyard went live on Facebook Tuesday night encouraging residents to vote for her.
“We’re almost to the finish line,” she said. “One hour left before we make history once again in the village of Dolton and take this by a landslide.”
According to television station WGN-TV, Henyard said she has accepted the election outcome.
