Sean Duffy is married to Rachel Campos-Duffy, a television host and reality TV personality. Together, they have nine children.
In 1997, Duffy starred on The Real World: Boston, the sixth season of the MTV reality television show, and on Road Rules: All Stars, a Winnebago driving event, in 1998, where he met his future wife Rachel Campos. Duffy later appeared on Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Seasons, which aired in 2002. Both appeared in a filmed segment on 2008's The Real World Awards Bash, while Duffy served as district attorney.
On June 4, 2010, Duffy announced his resignation from the position of Ashland County district attorney to focus on the congressional race. The resignation was effective three weeks later and Duffy returned to work in his father's law practice. He won the race on November 2, 2010, in a nationwide wave of Republicans being elected to Congress.
As of August 2019, Duffy and his wife had eight children, and were expecting their ninth that October. On August 26, 2019, Duffy announced that because he and his wife learned that their ninth child would experience health complications, including a heart condition, he was resigning from Congress, effective September 23.
In August 2021, Duffy purchased a home in Mendham Township, New Jersey, where he, his wife, and their children currently reside. He is the first New Jersey resident to serve in a presidential cabinet since Lisa P. Jackson, an East Windsor Township resident who was the administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency during the first presidency of Barack Obama.

Net Worth and Salary
As of early 2025, Sean Duffy's net worth is estimated at $4 million, primarily derived from his political career, media appearances, and other business ventures. However, it's worth noting that estimates can vary, with some sources previously suggesting higher figures due to different income sources or investments.
In March 2011, Duffy attended a Polk County Republican public town hall-style meeting in his district. In a video, following the passage of a state bill which would have effectively frozen the salaries of state employees, Duffy was asked about whether he would be willing to cut his own $174,000 salary. Duffy responded that he would only be willing to do so as part of a general round of salary cuts for government employees, and insisted that he was "struggling" to get by, despite his salary being nearly three times the average for Wisconsin residents.
Career, Business and Investments
Sean Duffy has had a multifaceted career:
- Politics: He served as a U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 7th congressional district from 2011 to 2019.
- Media: Duffy has worked as a sports commentator and is currently a host on Fox Business.
- Law: Before entering politics, he was a district attorney.
- Reality TV: He appeared on MTV's "The Real World: Boston" in 1998.
After graduating from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and William Mitchell College of Law, Duffy first gained fame as a cast member on The Real World: Boston, Road Rules: All Stars and Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Seasons, before going on to serve as district attorney of Ashland County, Wisconsin, from 2002 to 2010, and as congressman from Wisconsin from 2011 to 2019. After resigning from Congress, he became a lobbyist and a Fox Business television co-host.
Duffy proposed legislation to replace the director of the consumer watchdog group, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), with a five-person commission and removing the CFPB from Federal Reserve System oversight so that it "would go through the same funding process as other federal agencies". The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would have been renamed the Financial Product Safety Commission. The bill also intended to make overturning the decisions about regulations that the new commission made easier to do. The bill gave the commission more room to get rid of policies that Duffy believes jeopardize the safety of the US banking system.
After resigning from Congress, Duffy briefly served as a CNN political commentator, notably spreading a debunked conspiracy theory about the Trump-Ukraine scandal that there was a missing Democratic National Committee server in Ukraine that was "at the heart of the Russia investigation". He also joined the lobbying firm BGR Group as a senior counsel, eventually serving as a leader of the firm's financial services practice, where he represented clients such as Enterprise Products and the Partnership for Fair and Open Skies. After 2023, he served on the firm's advisory board.
On his first official day in office, Duffy responded to the 2025 Potomac River mid-air collision from the Federal Aviation Administration headquarters. Immediately following the accident, Duffy instructed an investigation be opened into the cause of the crash and ordered his department to "provide full support to the NTSB and all responding agencies and authorities." During the recovery, he held phone conversations with D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser, Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin, Kansas governor Laura Kelly, and NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. At approximately 12:30 a.m. EST, Duffy, Bowser, MWAA president and CEO John E. Potter, Senator Jerry Moran, and Senator Roger Marshall delivered the first official press conference regarding the incident at Reagan National Airport.
Sean Duffy engaged in climate change denial on Fox Business in 2024, saying: "If you say the climate's changing, is it coming from CO2 or is it coming from the sun? Where is – why is the climate changing? And then you would say, let's have a rigorous debate about what is causing it, or what are all the factors that bring us to climate change? And when you have the left that says "we're gonna shut down alternative science or science that challenges our narrative," I think it makes people go "maybe there is a different set of priorities here as opposed to climate change, maybe it actually is an agenda of control.""
Social Network
Sean Duffy maintains a strong presence on social media platforms, often engaging with his followers on Twitter and other platforms to discuss political and current events.
Duffy supported President Donald Trump's 2017 executive order to impose a temporary ban on entry to the U.S. to citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. He stated that "President Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise to re-evaluate our visa vetting process so that the American people are safe from terrorism." In February 2017, Duffy gave an interview to CNN's Alisyn Camerota supporting Trump's immigration and travel ban. When Camerota, referring to the Quebec City mosque shooting, asked why Trump made no public statement on the white terrorists who perpetrated that act, Duffy replied, "I don't know, there's a difference. You don't have a group like ISIS or al-Qaeda that is inspiring people around the world to take up arms and kill innocents...That was a one-off, Alisyn."
