His head and heart were on the question

HI, Is "Head and heart were on the question" kind of expression? What they meant to say with that?

"He made them to Obama as well, and repeatedly; in one instance Schumer even double-teamed him with Reid. Although Schumer was careful to signal that home-state decorum would prohibit him from opposing Clinton publicly—
“You understand my position,” he would say—he left no doubt as to where his head and heart were on the question."
