He cited unspecified allegations that, in his words, quote-- have called into question my ability to represent the citizens.''
In a release issued by his office, Schrock said he has come to the realization that these allegations will not allow his campaign to focus on the issues facing the nation.

for legislation to ban gay marriages.
