Wheeless became the first person in her family to graduate from college and ultimately joined a law firm after becoming an attorney. She went on to become a lobbyist for a banking association and later joined the Phoenix Suns as an executive. She eventually quit to start a consulting firm before staffing for then-Sen. Martha McSally.
Now, Wheeless, a second-generation Mexican American, is vying to become the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress.
