Candace Owens Farmer (née Owens; born April 29, 1989) is an American political commentator and author. Her political positions have mostly been described as conservative or far-right.
Owens has gained recognition for her conservative activism—despite being initially critical of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party—as well as her criticism of Black Lives Matter. Owens served as communications director for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA from 2017 and 2019. In 2018, Owens co-founded Blexit 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 widely regarded as antisemitic and months of tensions with co-host Ben Shapiro and other Daily Wire staff.
Owens has expressed skepticism about the extent of white supremacy's impact on society and has voiced opposition to both COVID-19 lockdowns and COVID-19 vaccines. She has promoted numerous conspiracy theories.
