Doug Burgum, as ND Gov and now Interior Sec, has deep ties to oil/gas: royalties from family land leases to Continental Resources ($50k) & Hess ($1k); close friendship with Harold Hamm (Continental founder), who donated to his campaigns; hosted events for oil execs & helped Trump solicit $1B from industry.

For coal: Signed bills providing tax relief ($20M+/yr) & supporting ND lignite; received award from Lignite Energy Council; hosted dinners with coal execs. No direct financial coal ties found, but strong policy advocacy. Sources: AP, Guardian, Desmog, ND Gov site.
