Before the debates started Saturday night, dozens of people arrived at Saint Anselm College. They represented causes they hope the candidates will support.
Among the crowd was Diane Pickles of Haverhill, Mass. She held a sign with pink ribbons. Pickles said she was advocating for Susan G. Komen for the Ciure, which wants more dollars for breast cancer research and screenings to prevent the disease.
Pickles said she’d like the candidates to commit to closing the health care gap between rich and poor in the U.S. Because health insurance is so costly, many people do not get cancer screenings, which would help with early detection and save lives.
Pickles, it turns out, has a second local connection. She’s related by marriage to Pelham police Sgt. Michael Pickles.
