Biography
Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Duchow received her bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin–Madison in marketing. She has worked as a manager or buyer for several retail merchants, as well as in her family's boat business.
She served on the Delafield Town Board and is a Republican. In September 2015, Duchow was elected to the State Assembly in a special election.
In November 2020, Duchow was elected by her colleagues to serve as the Majority Caucus Vice-Chair.
In January 2024, Duchow voted with 53 other Republicans to ban women in Wisconsin from obtaining abortion care after 14 weeks. The bill was opposed by Planned Parenthood, who called it part of "the consistent attack from legislative Republicans" on "reproductive rights and freedoms" that were "disruptive to health care."
