Evita Duffy is a young American conservative activist, writer, and commentator known for her work in political journalism and advocacy. Born on October 1, 1999, in Hayward, Wisconsin, she is the eldest of nine children of Sean Duffy, a former U.S. Congressman and current media personality, and Rachel Campos-Duffy, a television host and Fox News contributor. Her family background, particularly her parentsā€™ public profiles and their commitment to conservative values, has significantly influenced her worldview and career.
Evita gained prominence as the co-founder and managing editor of The Chicago Thinker, a conservative student newspaper she started while attending the University of Chicago, where she studied American history and graduated in 2022. The publication focuses on promoting free speech and challenging progressive narratives on campus. She has also been a contributor to The Federalist, a conservative online magazine, where she writes about topics like pro-life issues, socialism, and cultural debates, often drawing from her personal experiences and beliefs.
Her advocacy is deeply tied to her familyā€™s story, especially the birth of her youngest sister, Valentina, who has Down syndrome and was born with heart complications in 2019. This event inspired her parentsā€™ pro-life stance, which Evita has carried forward in her work. Beyond writing, she has appeared on Fox News programs and hosts the Bongino Report Early Edition podcast, produced by Dan Bongino, where she covers current events with a conservative lens.
Evita married Michael Alfonso in June 2022, after getting engaged in August 2021, in a wedding that drew attention for its high-profile attendees, including former President Donald Trump. Now 25 years old, she continues to build her reputation as a voice for young conservatives, blending journalism with activism rooted in her Midwestern upbringing and traditional values.
