Hi John,

I’m Todd Brady, and I’m a software engineer here in Ankeny. When the COVID-19 vaccine finally became available, I saw far too many of my community members struggling to find appointments. I used my background as a software engineer to create a website — Vaccine Hunter — that helped people find and book vaccine appointments all over the state. The site received over half a million visitors and we estimate that it helped over 100,000 people get vaccinated.

What I am most proud of in the Vaccine Hunter project is that it brought folks together to solve a problem facing our community. That’s what I’m all about — and that’s why I’m running for the Iowa Senate here in District 21. Will you chip in $5 to join my campaign today?

I’m a fifth-generation Iowan. My wife Christina and I live with our two boys in Ankeny, where Christina grew up. I’m not a politician, and I never imagined running for office. But I believe our current government is broken, and I know how to do something they don’t: take real steps to improve the lives of Iowa families and workers.

There are so many challenges that we all face, regardless of political affiliation, gender, class, or religion, including education, childcare, healthcare costs, wages, and more. I am running for office to address the root causes of these issues and make things better for folks in my district and across the state.

If I sound like the kind of problem-solver you’d like to see in the Iowa Senate, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution to my campaign today.
