Also, It would have more impact if it was ‘her’ (25 year old) psychiatrist her husband ran off with. He isn’t mentally ill just a jerk who has dominated her and so she has never been independent:

>>>but problems ensue when she falls for the opposing candidate?
I think that for this to work,? her objective goal must directly — not obliquely — clash with her relationship.? And I suggest that a goal that would bring her into head on conflict with her love interest? is for her to be hired to go negative, to do opposition research and trash her love interest.
It’s also more realistic. Going negative is SOP in politics.? Alas, that has been demonstrated over and over to be the most effective way to campaign.? It’s not enough to polish one politician’s image; it is also necessary to trash the rival.
Therefore, to maximize conflict and comedy in the situation,? the objective goal given to her ought to be? to do negative research, to trash the rival.
And since there’s only a month to go until the election, it’s too late for her to credibly fall in love with him.? Better that they are already secret lovers when she’s hired.

I think the logline should be framed and focused around the hook, the attention grabber.? ?And the person in the driver’s seat of the story.
The hook is what the? wife does, not the husband.? And she is clearly in the driver’s seat of the story.? If she doesn’t go into assassination mode, then the husband has nothing to do (of dramatic interest).? There no story, no film.
What the wife does is the sizzle that? sells the concept.? Not what the husband does.
