Hi John,

 

The Freethought Equality Fund has two great candidates in primary runoff elections who need and deserve your support. Donna Imam is running for Congress in Texas' 31st District. When she wins the runoff primary on July 14, Donna will take on a vulnerable Republican incumbent who barely held onto his seat in the 2016 election. In Georgia, Anne Allen Westbrook's primary runoff is on August 11 - with a runoff victory Anne will effectively take the seat in this very blue state house district.  

 

Short bios of these endorsed candidates are below, as are links to support their campaigns. Please be as generous as you can. You can see all our 2020 endorsed candidates here.

Donna Imam is running for U.S. Congress in Texas’ 31st District. In the March 3 primary, Imam earned 31% of the vote in a 6-way race, advancing to the runoff. The Texas runoff election will be held on July 14. Imam is an electrical and computer engineer with an 18+ year career in technology. She is an active volunteer in her community, having served as president of a 4000+ member nonprofit that provides free continuing education and training. Her campaign for Congress presents original solutions to America’s most pressing issues. Healthcare for All – scaling single-payer healthcare infrastructure to accommodate ~80 M uninsured and under-insured while maintaining high quality of care. Education for All – incentivizing students to pursue education in high-demand fields and serve in underserved and rural communities. Real Pay for All – paying working people so they can afford to live where they work, save towards the American Dream, and retire with dignity. Imam is a strong advocate of data driven evidence based policy.

 

Anne Allen Westbrook is running for the Georgia House of Representatives in District 163. In the June 9 primary, Westbrook earned 34% of the vote – finishing 1st in a field of five candidates. She will be in a run-off election on August 11. Westbrook is a respected attorney and a community leader. She serves as a Cultural Affairs Commissioner for the City of Savannah, which supports arts organizations that make up the cultural fabric of the community. Previously, she served as the State Legislative Lead for the Georgia Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. In that capacity, Westbrook helped defeat dangerous gun bills in the Georgia General Assembly and worked with the City of Savannah to unanimously pass a gun violence prevention resolution, the first of its kind to pass in Georgia. Westbrook’s policy priorities include expanding Medicaid, supporting reproductive rights and evidence-based sex education, reforming the criminal justice system, enacting common sense gun laws, addressing climate change, and fully funding public schools and expanding access to pre-K in neighborhood schools. Westbrook is a progressive Christian and an ally of the atheist and humanist community.
