A Dolton trustee, Jason House, officially launched his mayoral campaign on Sunday, leading a team effort of former and current trustees running in opposition to incumbent Mayor Tiffany Henyard. They are running under the slogan “Clean House 2025” with the goal of changing the narrative of Dolton politics and restoring transparency and community. House promised to address mismanagement, save the town money, and restore order and dignity to the community.
The team of candidates spoke at a campaign event at a local food pantry, emphasizing their commitment to stopping mismanagement, abuse of power, and restoring hope and inclusivity in Dolton. Residents in attendance expressed optimism about the potential for change under a new administration led by House and his team.
Henyard, who is currently the focus of a federal investigation for alleged misuse of public funds, has not responded to requests for comment. The next mayoral election in Dolton is set for April 2025, following the February 2025 primary. The opposition candidates are positioning themselves as a winning team that will bring positive change to the village of Dolton.
The campaign event highlighted the desire for a fresh start in Dolton, with residents looking forward to a potential shift in leadership that will prioritize transparency, community engagement, and economic revitalization. This joint effort by House and his team of candidates signals a united front against the current administration and a commitment to rebuilding trust and accountability in the community.
