In 2022, her colleagues elected her House Minority Leader, where she led Republicans to a historic result in the 2024 elections—holding every GOP seat and flipping three more to deliver only the second tied House in Minnesota history.

 As Speaker, she delivered on conservative priorities - working to pass a commonsense budget that achieved the largest reduction in state spending in Minnesota history, strengthened the economy, and protected taxpayers.

 

Michele Tafoya

US Senate Candidate

Michele Tafoya is a four-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, record-setting NFL sideline reporter, and now Tafoya is bringing that same straight-talking approach to politics.

She believes Minnesota deserves better than the corruption and fraud scandals that have dominated national headlines and embarrassed the state she loves. Minnesotans built their communities on honest hard work, strong families, and shared values — not backroom deals and career politicians who sell out the people they’re supposed to serve.

After years of asking tough questions on the sidelines, Michele Tafoya is stepping up to lead — determined to help restore integrity, reclaim Minnesota’s reputation, and show the nation what resilient, principled leadership looks like.
