Perhaps because of his past experience as a state legislator. President Faust was tapped to handle comments on politics, at the aforementioned press gathering:
President James E. Faust, second counselor in the First Presidency, said he sees a wider acceptance and understanding about Latter-day Saints reflected in the growing number of congressional representatives who are LDS — three U.S. senators and nine congressmen from outside Utah.
When asked if America is ready to elect a Latter-day Saint to serve as U.S. president — whether in the person of Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (whose name often has been mentioned) or another candidate — he noted that many believed years ago that American voters would never elect a Catholic.
“But that day came. I expect that day will come for a Mormon,” he said.
When asked about the Utah Legislature’s dominating LDS majority, President Faust said the church doesn’t endorse political parties or candidates.
