Melbourne, FL - September 10, 2018 - The nonprofit To Write Love on Her Arms has shared an inspiring new video as part of its "#TomorrowNeedsYou" campaign to honor National Suicide Prevention Week (9/9 - 9/15) and World Suicide Prevention Day (9/10).The video features actors Chris Sullivan (from This Is Us) and Jaina Lee Ortiz (from Station 19), country music star Hunter Hayes, writer/artist Morgan Harper Nichols, and singer/songwriter Matt Wertz, along with a number of clips submitted by TWLOHA supporters from around the world.

Our hope is to encourage each viewer to believe that life is worth living. Our hope is to prevent suicide."

According to the World Health Organization, 800,000 people die by suicide globally each year. That's one person every 90 seconds. Additionally, the CDC recently reported that as of 2016, the suicide rate in the United States has risen 25% in the last 20 years.

Statement from the Mia Love Campaign Regarding CNN Article

Utah's 4th District- "We strongly dispute the accusations made in the CNN story.  Here are the facts:

1. CNN omitted that Friends of Mia Love did prepare for a primary campaign by paying over $35,000 to gather signatures to be on the primary ballot.  
2. They also omitted the fact that the FEC simply requested a response for information as to why funds were attributed to the Convention and the Primary elections and did not and have not said Friends of Mia Love broke any laws.  
3. Furthermore, CNN can in no way show that there is any deviation between 2016 Friends of Mike Lee campaign and the Friends of Mia Love 2018 campaign in which the FEC stated that because of the “unique facts” of Utah’s nominating process “the committee (Friends of Mike Lee) had no choice but to prepare for both the primary election and the party convention at the same time because of the short time frame between the party convention and the primary election.” (See attached letter for more details.)
4. .The “unique facts” of the 2016 matter involving Senator Lee have not changed.  Utah’s unusual primary ballot access laws were upheld by the Tenth Circuit regardless of what the Democrat party and national liberal reporters want to present to help Democrats take the House. 
5. National reporters also do not understand that until, it was not known with certainty whether any challenger had qualified for the primary election ballot. Similarly, it was not known with certainty until– the date of the state party convention – that there would be no primary election at all.  
6. The bias numbers reported by CNN are grossly exaggerated.  Friends of Mia Love will contributions which were previously undesignated and then assigned to the primary election to the general election for donations received after April 21, 2018 – the date of the state convention- and before June 26, 2018- the date of the primary election.   In total, Friends of Mia Love will about $370,000 and may refund under $10,000." - Sasha Clark, Campaign Communications Director

A Boomtown can be characterized as a city that experiences rapid growth and often sees people migrating to take advantage of the increasing opportunities.  I myself moved from New Jersey two years ago to North Carolina to be a part of the rapid growth in Charlotte. (and also to escape the cold weather and high taxes)  Our analysts at MagnifyMoney have evaluated the 100 largest metro areas in the United States and measured them on growth rates of industry, population, housing, wages, and employment opportunities.

To find out which of America’s metros are booming, we looked at how much each metro has changed between 2011 and 2016 (the most recent year for which all data is available at the metro level) in three different categories, which we scored independently before combining the results to reach a metro’s final score.

Key Local Findings:
- Ogden ranked #12 of 100 on our list
- Population increased in Ogden by 7.90%% 
- Ogden unemployment rates dropped 25.70%%  
- The number of paid employees in Ogden improved by 18.10%%
