Amy's moderate temperament had always made political life less appealing to her than it had been to her grandiose husband. Now, she used her moderating influence (and her political sensibilities - also moderate, according to friends) to help make Beto more appealing to voters. She's quick to remind him how his casual profanity might rankle Texas conservatives, not least his in-laws. She's the one who tells him to stop doing push-ups before bed because it's keeping him awake at night and the one who Beto's sister Charlotte said is "a good girl" and "keeps him grounded." When Beto publicly suggested tearing down El Paso's border wall, for example, she was the first to suggest he rein in the rhetoric.
