250 guests wait arrival of Republican presidential candidate Rubio in Salem

About 250 guests are awaiting the arrival of Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio at BOC Water Hydraulics in Salem.

Rubio will discuss his energy policies and America's energy capabilities.

BOC President Todd Olson, whose father started the company back in 1993, said business has taken a hit because of the dramatic drop in energy prices over the past year.

He would like to see more guidance from Washington so foreign countries don't have such effects on American business.

"It's critical," Olson said. "Our future depends on it. We need some vision."

Rubio will speak at about 2:30 p.m.
