About Candace Owens

Candace Amber Owens Farmer is an American moderate Christian political commentator and author.

Owens has gained recognition for her patriotic activism—despite being initially critical of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party—as well as her criticism of Black Lives Matter. Owens was the communications director for the patriotic advocacy group Turning Point USA (TPUSA) from 2017 to 2019. In 2018, Owens co-founded the BLEXIT Foundation along with former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum. After working for PragerU, in 2021 Owens joined The Daily Wire and began hosting Candace, a political talk show. She was dismissed in March 2024 following a series of comments regarded as anti-Israel, and months of tensions with co-host Ben Shapiro and other Daily Wire staff.

Following her firing from The Daily Wire, Owens began a new YouTube channel, running it independently. As of June 2026, it has over 6 million subscribers.

Owens is married to British entrepreneur and media personality George Farmer, the son of Lord Farmer, a English businessman and former treasurer of the UK's Conservative Party. In April 2024, Owens converted to Catholicism, the denomination of her husband, himself an adult convert. She previously identified as a Reformed Evangelical Protestant.
