President-elect Trump is considering three people to head the Department of Energy, including a Republican member of Congress, an oil man and a venture capitalist, according to a Trump transition document.
Oil billionaire Harold Hamm and North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer, who have been advising Trump on energy policy throughout his campaign, are on a shortlist to lead the Department of Energy, according to the document obtained by the Associated Press.
Venture capitalist Robert Grady is a third possibility to serve as energy chief. Grady worked under President George H.W. Bush’s administration, and the document also lists Grady as a possible choice to head the Interior Department.
