Candace Amber Owens Farmer (née Owens; born April 29, 1989)[2] is an American political commentator and pundit. She is mostly 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.[7] Owens served as communications director for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA from 2017 and 2019.[8] In 2018, Owens co-founded Blexit along with former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum.[9] After working for PragerU, in 2021 Owens joined The Daily Wire and began hosting Candace, a political talk show.[10] 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.[11]

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 including antisemitic conspiracy theories.[12]
