Personnel
Continental Resources CEO Harold Hamm was acknowledged at a privately held Koch seminar in June 2011 in Vail, Colorado for donating at least $1 million to Koch-related causes.[3]
The Wall Street Journal reported that Hamm generated “almost all” of his $12 billion wealth in Continental from 2010-2012; he ranks at No. 36 on Forbes 2012 list of richest Americans.
In March 2012, the Romney campaign announced that Hamm would lead the candidate’s energy policy, joining a team that already includes coal lobbyist Jim Talent and tar-sands lobbyist David Wilkins.[4]
