Hi  John,
 
The Freethought Equality Fund[[link removed]] has endorsed three excellent Iowa and Indiana candidates who are in competitive primaries on June 2. Amanda Qualls and Caleb Short are seeking to oust Republican incumbents, and Brandon Dothager is running for an open seat in which the Democratic incumbent is running for Congress. As a federal political action committee, the Freethought Equality Fund cannot directly support these candidates, so we rely on our members, like you, to donate to our state and local endorsed candidates. 
Short bios of these endorsed candidates are below, as are links to support their campaigns. Please be as generous as you can.
