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.[1]
She served on the Delafield Town Board and is a Republican.[2] In September 2015, Duchow was elected to the State Assembly in a special election.[3]
In November 2020, Duchow was elected by her colleagues to serve as the Majority Caucus Vice-Chair.[4]
In January 2024, Duchow voted with 53 other Republicans to ban women in Wisconsin from obtaining abortion care after 14 weeks.[5] 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."[6]
