Former NBC Sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya and ex-NFL kicker Jay Feely were unsuccessful in their respective campaigns for United States Congress, according to results reported Wednesday.
Tafoya, who spent 11 years as a sideline reporter for NBC's Sunday Night Football, and Feely, a 14-year NFL veteran who played for six teams, both appeared on ballots in the November 2026 midterm elections.
The pair joined a growing list of sports personalities who have transitioned into political candidacy in recent years. Neither campaign released immediate statements following the projected losses.
