Michele Tafoya to Co-Chair Minnesota Governor Campaign After NBC Sports Departure

Michele Tafoya worked her 327th, and final, NFL game as a sideline reporter on Sunday during Super Bowl LVI, a contest in which the Rams beat the Bengals, 23–20.

The day after the Super Bowl, The Athletic's Richard Deitsch published an interview with Tafoya, in which the now-former NBC Sports broadcaster shared what she plans to do in the next stage of her career.

Tafoya told The Athletic she will be the co-chair of a political campaign for businessman and Army veteran Kendall Qualls, who announced in January he is running as a Republican candidate for governor in Minnesota.
