Former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann will serve on Donald Trump's Evangelical Advisory Executive Board.
Other members include James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family; Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.; Richard Land, president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary; Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed, and Word of Faith founders Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, the campaign said Tuesday.
"I have such tremendous respect and admiration for this group and I look forward to continuing to talk about the issues important to evangelicals, and all Americans, and the common sense solutions I will implement when I am president," Trump said in a statement.
The board, according to the statement, will "provide advisory support to Mr. Trump on those issues important to evangelicals and other people of the faith in America."
Some of the board members were involved in organizing a meeting with Trump and evangelical leaders on Tuesday in New York.
Bachmann, the five-term Minnesota representative, was a 2012 Republican presidential candidate who ran on a tea party platform. She has not made any endorsement so far this season.
The statement said that none of the 23 board members was asked to endorse Trump and that the list instead reflected "Donald J. Trump's endorsement of those diverse issues important to evangelicals and other Christians, and his desire to have access to the wise counsel of such leaders as needed."
