    But the impetus for her political ambition comes from her husband, Malcolm, whose grandfather, the late Republican U.S. Rep. James Collins, of Texas, taught him that there were stages in life. First, you start your career and family in your 20s, then you build up your savings in your 30s — and your 40s are the time for a political career.

    And

    Through their various projects, Collins signs emails with her husband’s name, and vice versa, depending on who they think the respondent will be more receptive to.

    “We use whatever face of the two of us is going to be more palatable to other people, but we’re the same person, really,” she said. “We work as a team. So the fact that I’m running is just that my face and my name are there, but everything that we do, we do together.”

    Sounds like an excuse and her husband has some weird cases in his past…

    Why is he around?
