Ex-NFL reporter launches GOP Senate bid, reveals how she will flip script on state's 'crisis of leadership'

Saying that she wants to bring "sanity" and "normalcy" back to her home state of Minnesota, former longtime TV sports reporter turned political activist and conservative commentator Michele Tafoya on Wednesday formally launched a campaign for the Senate in a bid to flip a Democrat-held open seat.
