Setti D. Warren, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and the mayor of Newton, believes energy conservation can lead to jobs.
Democratic Newton Mayor Setti Warren speaks to supporters during a campaign event in Newton, Mass., Tuesday, May 10, 2011.BELCHERTOWN – Newton Mayor Setti D. Warren said Wednesday he chose the National Fiber insulation factory for one of his first U.S. Senate campaign stops because the company employs people who make energy conserving products, which will be a major theme in his candidacy.
Warren announced this week that he will seek the Democratic nomination to run for U.S. Senate in 2012 against incumbent Republican Scott Brown.
“One of my priorities is job creation, particularly in the area of energy conservation and renewable energy,” Warren said. “This is a company that has been doing it.”
Chris Hoch, who owns National Fiber, said his company which produces cellulose insulation at 50 Depot St. has 32 workers.
