Michele Tafoya, a longtime sportscaster, launches a Republican bid for US Senate in Minnesota [View all]

Michele Tafoya, a longtime sportscaster and conservative commentator, has officially announced she will run for US Senate in Minnesota, giving the Republican Party a well-known candidate in a state that’s being roiled by the ongoing federal immigration crackdown.

In a video announcing her campaign launch on Wednesday morning, Tafoya said: “For years, I covered the biggest football games in America,” adding that “it taught me about how leadership really works when leaders are prepared and accountable.”

Tafoya also seized on the welfare fraud allegations rippling through her state, arguing that “I see massive government fraud exploding.” She vowed to “clean up the system: fighting corruption, ending the fraud and protecting your tax dollars.”

The new GOP candidate also highlighted other policy priorities, including lowering the cost of living and “keeping female sports for female athletes.”
