Tiffany Henyard Barred From Ballot for Thornton Township Supervisor

Democratic caucus selects State Sen. Napoleon Harris, citing procedural issues with Henyard's nomination.

Tiffany Henyard, current Thornton Township Supervisor and Dolton mayor, was denied a place on the April 2025 ballot by the Democratic caucus.
The caucus rejected Henyard's nomination due to her incomplete slate of candidates, including the lack of a certified assessor on her ticket.
State Sen. Napoleon Harris was selected as the Democratic nominee, marking the first caucus in Thornton Township in 30 years.
Henyard criticized the process, claiming it was illegal and alleging voter suppression, as many of her supporters were unable to enter the venue on time.
Henyard, facing criticism over alleged financial mismanagement and federal investigations, plans to challenge the decision in court and may run as a write-in candidate.
