More than 50 religious conservatives in Iowa will lead an effort to persuade Republicans to support presidential candidate Sam Brownback.
In a statement, Brownback said the conservatives "share my goal to rebuild the family and renew the culture" and could play an important role in his bid for the GOP nomination.
Chuck Hurley, a former state legislator and a leader among the state's religious conservatives, will head Brownback's "Faith and Family" committee. Hurley heads the conservative Iowa Family Policy Center, but he stressed that role is separate from his efforts for Brownback, with whom he has ties that date back to college days in Kansas.
