Michele Tafoya

I'm not going to stay on the sidelines any longer.

Starting today, I'm running for the United States Senate.

Former NFL reporter Michelle Tafoya throws her hat in the ring for Minnesota Senate, calling the current state of the state a crisis of leadership.

Stay tuned, we have the news you need to know.

President Trump gave a highly anticipated speech Wednesday at the World Economic Forum, slamming European leaders and reiterating his desire to acquire Greenland, which he now says he has a framework agreement on.

She joins us now to discuss her decision and the state of her state.

Michelle, thanks for coming on the show.

Thanks for having me.

So let's start with your announcement this week.

It's been 20 years since Minnesota has elected a Republican.

Why do you think this time is different?

I've lived here for over 30 years, raised my family here.

And I know the Minnesota that I moved into and what I see now is a Minnesota in decline.

Crime is up.

Test scores are down.

We've got the fraud.

We've got this landscape of violence toward law enforcement.

And really, that crisis of leadership doesn't come down to right versus left.

Really, it's right versus wrong.

Common sense built this state.
