Husband: Abraham Williams.
Occupation: Filmmaker, cinematographer.
Married: 2015.
Children: None.
Fun fact: Williams, like Gabbard, is an avid surfer, so when he decided to propose, he made a special flotation device covered in gold duct tape for the ring and attached it to his surfboard. As the two waited to catch the perfect wave, Williams asked Gabbard if she would marry him.
The lowdown: Rarely photographed, Williams is clearly more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, which is just fine by his wife, since he is now putting his filmmaking skills to use documenting her campaign.
That's actually how the two met, several years ago in Hawaii, when Williams volunteered to shoot Gabbard's campaign ads. They were friends first, but eventually kindled a romance at a friend's party, quickly realizing they both loved the outdoors.

Williams is perhaps the least-seen among the candidate spouses, and he has yet to weigh in on any of his wife's political philosophies, but Gabbard is thankful her husband is at least with her when he can be on the campaign trail.
In February, to mark Williams' 30th birthday, Gabbard posted on Facebook from Iowa: "Happy birthday to my amazing husband, Abraham! It was yesterday and we spent it on the road ... Iowa city to Grinnell to Council Bluffs to Des Moines! Thanks to Molly's Cupcakes in Des Moines for helping us celebrate with amazing vegan cupcakes (for breakfast)."
