Dolton Mayoral Candidate Giving Cash Prizes At Fundraiser After Previous Allegations Of Buying Votes

DOLTON, Ill. (CBS) -- There is more controversy now for Dolton's Tiffany Henyard, who is running for mayor.

The south suburban mayoral candidate's January gas giveaway raised questions about illegal vote buying.

She is again raising eyebrows as she gives away cash prizes at a fundraiser this Sunday. An ad says attendees can win one of three cash prizes, totaling more than $8,000.

Henyard's spokesperson in the past has denied allegations of vote buying.

Last week Henyard claimed victory in Dolton's Democratic primary. If that win is certified she will face Independent Ronnie Burge in the April 6 election.
