Changing of the cards.Disgraced “Dolton Dictator” Tiffany Henyard dumped the Democratic Party and is running as a Republican in Georgia in an attempted political comeback over a year after her embarrassing ouster in Illinois.Henyard, who described herself as a “super mayor,” filed to run as a Republican in Georgia’s Fulton County Board of Commissioners election in May, according to county election records.The 42-year-old is vying for the District 5 commissioner’s seat and is one of five current contenders, but is the only GOP candidate.District 5 encompasses the southwestern suburbs of Atlanta, including South Fulton, Union City and Palmetto.President Trump’s Georgia rival, Fani Willis, is the district attorney of Fulton County.Henyard qualified for the ballot on March 5 — over a year after her heavily celebrated ouster from Illinois politics that included her scandal-scarred stints as mayor of Dolton and supervisor of Thornton Township.In her roles, Henyard faced a plethora of damaging accusations.
