It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made.

Hi there John, I hope you are well!


This is Michele Tafoya – I’ve got a quick story to share if you’ll indulge me
for a few moments.

Folks might’ve killed to have my job.


I was a sideline reporter for pro football and basketball. I covered some of
the most exciting games in history. I watched sports for a living. And I loved
every minute, every touchdown, and every Hail Mary.


I reached the pinnacle of my career… but there was one problem:


I had to watch what I said. I was a public-facing representative for a
world-class sports network. I couldn’t share everything I believed, and no one
really knew I was a Conservative.


So I hung up my press badge and quit my dream job so I could speak my mind.

It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. I was scared, excited, and
liberated – all at the same time.




People said I was OUT OF MY MIND.




But I knew God was leading me in a certain direction, and that’s no time for
half-measures. I knew he had a plan for my life. So I took a leap of faith and
never looked back.




Now, a few years later, I’ve started a growing podcast, campaigned for
commonsense in Minnesota, and now launched a campaign for U.S. Senate!

I believe God put me here for a reason.




I believe Minnesota is the land of 10,000 problems right now.




And I believe a no-BS, sane person who’s ALL-IN can win this seat.




But I’d be lying if I said fundraising doesn’t make a difference in a race
like this. The far-Left is readying a FORTUNE to drown out our message and take
this seat out of play.




Our path to victory solely depends on raising enough to keep up.




My finance team tells me we’ll need to bring in 10,000 founding donors ASAP so
we can:1) Hire staff, 2) Recruit volunteers in every corner of the state, 3)
Print yard signs,4) Launch our first advertising blitz, and 5) Start contacting
on-the-fence voters.




I’m afraid that’ll make the difference between a winning campaign and a losing
one.




With that said, would you consider becoming one of the 10,000 founding donors
now that I have launched my Senate campaign?

BECOME A FOUNDING DONOR

I put my career on hold to speak out for what I know to be true.




I’m committing my blood, sweat, and tears to take this seat back from the
political class.




I’d be honored if you’d be willing to stand alongside me. Donations in these
early days make the biggest impact on our path to victory.




I hope you’ll join us, but either way, God bless you!




Be brave. Do good.



– Michele
