Just so you know, Wikipedia's WP:BLPNAME rule specifies that a notable person's family members (parents, spouses, children, siblings, etc.) can be named in their article only if the information — as well as a reason why the information is genuinely useful and important, and not just trivia — is properly sourced to a reliable source. This is done to protect the family's privacy rights; since they're not also public figures, the average reader doesn't need to know their names. (While there might be occasional exceptions, in fact, other family members' names are almost never genuinely useful information for us to provide on here unless the family member is also notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.) I have added and sourced a sentence to the article which acknowledges that she has a husband — but especially given that even her own campaign website doesn't actually publish his name, it's not our role to do so either.
