Tafoya makes 'common sense' pitch to disaffected Democrats as she vows to fight Minnesota’s ‘socialist lurch’
EDINA, MN - As socialist candidates continue to score victories across the country and take more control of the Democratic Party, Minnesota GOP Senate nominee Michele Tafoya is making her pitch to voters from all parties who still believe in "common sense.""We do not want to see a socialist lurch anywhere in this country, and in particular in Minnesota, so I will do whatever I can to stand up against this movement toward Democrat socialism," Tafoya told Fox News Digital on Tuesday shortly after voting in a suburb outside Minneapolis. "Socialism does not work.""There is absolutely a home for every voter in Minnesota that wants common sense, that wants a return to sanity, that wants to see kids learn in school again, that wants accountability for this fraud, who wants the fraud never repeat itself, who wants crime rates to go down again," Tafoya told Fox News Digital.
