Editor’s note: Ahead of a Friday debate between U.S. Senate candidates Michele Tafoya and Peggy Flanagan hosted by MPR News, politics editor Brian Bakst asked each to talk about how their lives helped form their politics. Check here for Flanagan’s video.
Michele Tafoya prowled NFL sidelines for years as a fixture on national television broadcasts. Now she’s hunting for votes.
The Republican nominee hopes to give her party its first U.S. Senate victory in Minnesota since 2002.
While she’s a first-time candidate, Tafoya’s political involvement has been brewing for years.
