Aly Higgins Wheeler
FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
My name is Aly, and I am originally from New Hampshire but have called DC home for more than a decade. My husband and I met at American University and with his job in sports marketing, and my work in politics, DC is the place to be.
Like many, I moved to DC to make the world a better place, and found that the best way for me to do that is through politics. After working at a top-notch fundraising firm for several years, I decided to start my own firm - Wheelerhouse LLC - in 2018. I serve as a fundraiser and acting Finance Director and enjoy finding creative ways to raise money for my clients.
“A boat is always safe in the harbor, but that’s not what boats are built for.”
That quote has been my “motto” throughout my career, and has empowered me to challenge myself with new opportunities. It is what ultimately motivated me to start my own company. It is also what keeps me motivated to stay true to my morals and work with people I believe in.
I have worked with incumbent Members of Congress, candidates, Governors and non-profit groups to help them raise money to further their missions.
My personal passions include getting more women elected to office. When I’m not working, I can be found exploring DC with my husband and son. I also spend time volunteering for the Homeless Children’s Playtime Project. Some of my favorite things include martinis, Celine Dion and sunshine.
