STAND ATLANTIC
COLLAB WITH ALEX LAHEY
"SKINNY DIPPING (FEAT. ALEX LAHEY)"
PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT
JUNE 17, 2019 - Stand Atlantic has announced a collaboration with fellow Australian songwriter, Alex Lahey, today. Fans can now stream or download "Skinny Dipping (feat. Alex Lahey)" now via Spotify or Apple Music. A visual for the song can also be streamed on the Hopeless Records YouTube channel here: smarturl.it/SDAlexLaheyVisual
Proceeds from the track will benefit The It Gets Better Project, a nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift, empower, and connect members of the LGBTQ community.
"I'm so excited to be involved in this release with Stand Atlantic to celebrate Pride Month and support ItGetsBetter, states Lahey. "As a member of both the music and queer community, I know how important it is to support one another in order to make a greater difference. There is no better time than now to be your true self, exercise compassion, and stand up for what is right."
"Skinny Dipping is about the push and pull of accepting yourself for who you are vs. how you want others to see you and catering to what you think they expect or want," explains Bonnie Fraser of Stand Atlantic. In this case, I was dealing with my sexuality. Having Lahey on this track was exciting for us - I feel like we are from different music worlds and breaking those boundaries and expectations is important, and essentially what this track encompasses as a whole!"

Spencer Cox Sets Republican Grassroots Fundraising Records,
Raises $250,000 Toward Gubernatorial Campaign
SALT LAKE CITY (June 17, 2019) – Since announcing his candidacy just one month ago, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox has reported more than $250,000 toward his campaign for governor while also setting a Republican grassroots fundraising record.
“Abby and I are thrilled Utahns enthusiastically believe in our call for elevated campaigns.
We’re committed to bringing people together, serving our communities and discussing a
conservative vision for Utah’s future without harboring contempt for our opponents,” said Lt.
Gov. Spencer Cox.
To date, the campaign has received a record 1,015 online donations at an average amount of $68. No candidate for Utah governor has ever received more than 1,000 donations during a single month. Further, since 2000 (as far back as physical records are available), no Republican candidate for governor has received more in-state donations during the course of a single year.
“Whether you donate $3 or $300, we value your contribution to our campaign. While we are not independently wealthy and will continue to rely heavily on grassroots donations, no candidate will work harder to promote our shared values and earn the trust of Utahns. This is truly a grassroots campaign,” said Cox.
The Lt. Governor and his wife, Abby, have committed to visiting all 248 incorporated cities and towns in Utah, also a first for an announced gubernatorial candidate. To date, they’ve visited 24 cities and towns and will continue traveling the state next week.
