Leon GOP State Committeeman and RPOF Treasurer Jeff Howell represented the conservative viewpoint this past Sunday at a Temple Israel interfaith panel discussion on refugees and immigration.

At the discussion, Jeff speaks up for common sense: “Liberalism does not hold a monopoly over compassion and caring, there are thoughtful conservatives throughout this country and throughout this world,” Howell says.  “Secondarily I’d like to say it’s alright to question your elected officials about national security and about vetting and about what’s going on with respect to the immigration that is coming over.”

“It doesn’t mean you’re a bigot, it doesn’t mean you’re a racist it doesn’t mean you’re a xenophobe.”
