Simon Goe, who owns a brine shrimping company in Snowville, has donated millions of dollars of his wealth to GOP politicians including Mike Lee, with most of those contributions happening since Donald Trump rose to fame and power in the party.
The little-known businessman, whose international fortune began by selling food for farm-raised fish from the town that’s dubbed itself “Utah’s Outback,” has given millions of dollars to conservative politicians in recent years, and has taken a special interest in the politics of the Beehive State.Goe and his wife, who is referred to in public records as both Nadejda and Nadja and is listed as a “homemaker,” have been giving to political campaigns here and there since the mid-1990s.
Twenty years later, Goe gave $34,000 to joint fundraising committees supporting the late Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, and another $30,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Goe gave hundreds of thousands of dollars in the four years that followed. The vice president of Ocean Star International, Mark Lamon, said no one with the company could comment regarding its political donations because Goe, though semi-retired, is the owner.
