GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has added two of Gov. Scott Walker’s major financial backers to his economic advisory team.

Trump named Diane Hendricks, owner of ABC Supply and one of the wealthiest billionaires in Wisconsin, and Elizabeth Uihlein, co-founder of Uline Corp., to the team along with six other women.

Trump faced criticism when he announced an economic advisory team that included 13 men and no women.

Hendricks has been a major backer of Republicans in Wisconsin, famously asking Walker in early 2011 before the Act 10 protests when he would make Wisconsin a right-to-work state. Walker told her his strategy was to first take on public-sector unions as part of a “divide-and-conquer” strategy.

She has given $5 million to a super PAC backing Walker and $529,100 to Walker’s campaigns, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

Uihlein and her husband Richard contributed $284,500 to Walker’s gubernatorial campaign through the end of last year and gave $6.2 million to groups supporting Walker’s short-lived presidential campaign, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

Both Hendricks and Uihlein were named to the Republican National Committee’s Trump Victory fundraising committee in May.

Beloit-based ABC Supply is the nation’s largest roofing supply business, while Uline is a shipping supply company based in Pleasant Prairie.
