Jason House, a Dolton Village Trustee, will be the village’s next mayor, marking a new chapter after the embattled tenure of former mayor Tiffany Henyard.
House dominated the April 1 election, winning more than 95 percent of the vote against Casundra Hopson-Jordan. That followed his February primary win over Henyard, a campaign that drew local and national attention.
With 3,359 ballots cast out of 16,472 registered voters, turnout reached just over 20 percent. House pulled in 3,171 votes to Hopson-Jordan’s 152.
His victory signals a clear message from Dolton residents: they’re ready for a change in leadership.
