Duffey was born in Canada.[1][2] As of 1884, he was a member of the Odd Fellows in Santa Cruz.[3]
It was initially unclear whether Duffey had won the 1902 election against his opponent Harry S. Wanzer. A committee of the legislature later determined that Wanzer had won the election.[4] A report at the time stated that the vote was on "straight party" lines.[5] Wanzer, although he was declared the winner and took his seat on February 10, 1903, resigned just a month later, on March 16, 1903.[6]
Representing area 54, he was a member of the Democratic Party and won re-election in 1912.[7]
