Schmeck made his comment during an interview with conservative Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes. Starnes asked him if he had any plans to run for office.

“I want to pray about it, see what God has for me,” Schmeck replied. “At the end of the day, I want His will for my life and the direction that it goes.”

“I do feel like God put me in this position for a reason,” he continued. “And I strongly believe that standing up is the right thing to do here as long as that message that I’m portraying is glorifying His name. And yeah, I’ll see where it goes.”
