Newton Mayor Setti Warren On Income Inequality
Resume
How much can a mayor do to tackle the growing challenge of income inequality?
The mayor of Newton, Setti Warren, has taken up the challenge in a big way. He's personally acquainted with it.
Newton is one of the more prosperous communities in greater Boston, and Setti Warren is raising his family in a house that he inherited from his father. But, he points out, it's a house that he could never afford to buy, which has helped influence his policies.
Setti Warren has been the mayor of Newton since 2010, and state Democratic leaders talk about him as a potential candidate for higher office one day, even governor of the Commonwealth.
