Brilliant FOX News contributor Michele TaFoya is running for Senate in scandal-plagued Minnesota against Democrat Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is inextricably bound to failed MN governor Tim Walz.
New polls show TaFoya may be able to turn blue Minnesota purple.
Real Clear Polling has moved the race to ‘toss up.”
🚨Our race is now a TOSS UP!
We’ve closed the gap, and our momentum is clear. I’m going to keep working hard every day to earn every vote.
Get out and vote, Minnesota!https://t.co/KIpY9fItIi

KSTP reports, “Flanagan started the post-primary polls with a 5-point lead on Tafoya. A month later, the race is a dead tie, with 12% still undecided and 4% going toward other candidates.”
Our campaign continues to build momentum, and our message is clear. People are tired of politicians who allowed our money to be stolen.
Peggy Flanagan cannot escape her record or the fraud that occurred on her watch. Minnesotans deserve answers and accountability.

Tafoya spoke with Fox News on Sunday morning and noted, “For the future of Minnesota, it’s common sense versus crazy or chaos or communism or whatever kind of alliteration you want to use.”
“We are a common-sense campaign that is looking to restore what Minnesota loves, which is the value of the dollar, not being stolen from, not having our leaders be untrustworthy.”

Last year, Flanagan pandered to the Somali community by appearing in a video wearing a hijab while gushing about how they’re woven into the “fabric” of the state.
Flanagan embraces a host of far-left policies. She supports ‘Medicare for All’ and calls healthcare a “human right.”
She supports banning assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and ghost guns, while also backing “common-sense” gun safety measures and resources for safe storage.
She has described Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” and said she would support blocking offensive weapons sales to Israel.
As for keeping American citizens safe, she has called for Democrats in positions of power to aggressively target and prosecute ICE agents while declaring that the agency must be “ripped apart.” She has criticized mass deportation efforts and opposed the Laken Riley Act.
