Duffy was born in Hayward, Wisconsin on October 3, 1971, one of 11 children. He started log rolling at age 5 and speed climbing (sprinting up 60 and 90 foot poles) at 13. He holds two speed-climbing titles. As a teen, Duffy competed in the National Lumberjack Championships and is a three-time world champion in the 90-foot speed climb and has several other titles. He still competes in local and national competitions. Duffy also has been an ESPN color commentator for televised competitions and in 2003 appeared as both a competitor and commentator on ESPN's Great Outdoor Games. He was named Badger State Games Honorary Athlete of the 2004 Winter Games. He has a marketing degree from St. Mary's University[Winona, MN], and a law degree from William Mitchell College of Law[St Paul, MN].
Duffy, a Republican, was appointed to the district attorney's post in 2002 by then Gov. Scott McCallum, and was elected unopposed in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. He has a greater than 90% trial success rate as district attorney. He also was on the Republican slate of the 10 Wisconsin electors for the 2008 Presidential Election. He served as the chair for the Republican Party of Wisconsin's seventh congressional district, and is succeeded by Michael Munson.
Duffy is married to Rachel Campos-Duffy of The Real World: San Francisco and The Wedding Video. The two met while on the spinoff show Road Rules: All Stars. They have six children, Evita, Jack, Lucia-Belen, John-Paul, Paloma, and MariaVictoria.
Pro-life: I believe in the value and the potential of every human life. I will vigorously defend the right to life of the unborn and our elderly, and I will actively support policies that offer women non-violent choices and opportunities when faced with a crisis pregnancy. As the father of six, I understand first hand the responsibilities and joys of parenthood and the gift that every child is to our world.
Pro-Second Amendment: Hunting and gun ownership is part of the Wisconsin way of life. I will always protect and defend our Constitutional right to bear arms.
Pro-Traditional Marriage: I believe in the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. I voted for the 2006 Wisconsin amendment defining marriage between a man and woman and I do not favor any government-sanctioned union/arrangement that looks like traditional marriage. However, I am not opposed to people entering into contracts for the purposes of inheritance, medical decisions, etc. All Americans, regardless of sexual orientation, have a right to make legal contracts and arrangements with each other and deserve the respect and dignity afforded to all citizens.
Judicial Philosophy: I believe in the U.S. Constitution and I am a strict constructionist. Our Constitution is not a “living, breathing document” to be interpreted to meet the political goals of any particular jurist. Judicial activism undermines representative democracy and I will only support jurists who strictly interpret the Constitution.

Duffy represents the values most Wisconsinites uphold. He's been endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life and many others will do the same. His candidacy has captured national attention ... and rightly so...he is one great candidate! Go Duffy!

The 2A was not written for hunters. It was written to prevent Leviathan.
Regardless, DUFFY'S THE MAN!
