Abstract: We prove that Cauchy transforms of characteristic functions of subsets of positive measure of the unit circle are equidistributed in the unit disk in the sense that the $L^p$-closure of the polynomial algebra in these Cauchy transforms coincides with the $L^p$-closure of the polynomial algebra in a canonical inner function. As a corollary to this result we find conditions describing when the polynomial algebra in two singular inner functions determined by point masses is dense in the Hardy spaces $H^p$.
