Former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya launched a Senate campaign in Minnesota on Wednesday, giving Republicans a well-known candidate for a seat they see as a potential pickup opportunity.
Tafoya, who gained national attention as a sideline reporter covering NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” before becoming a conservative commentator, said in a launch video that she would fight corruption, lower costs and protect women’s sports if elected.
“I’m not going to stay on the sidelines any longer,” she said in the video. “It’s time for a political outsider and a reformer with a real plan for working families.”
