AGAWAM, Mass. (WWLP) - President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is just a few days away. "The thing I'm most excited about is seeing President Trump put his hand on the bible raise his right and take that oath," said Massachusetts for Trump 2024 committee member, Cecilia Calabrese. It's not too long now before Agawam's Celicia Calabrese will see Donald Trump. The 45th and soon-to-be 47th president will be sworn in on January 20th in the United States capital. Just eight years ago, Trump stood on those very same steps and took an oath to the office. "I think that then when we have a strong leader in the White House, we have a strong country," said Calabrese. As a member of the Massachusetts for Trump 2024 committee, she worked tirelessly to encourage others to vote for Trump, during the Presidential race. "In addition to working within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we traveled to Pennsylvania to do some doorknocking and up to New Hampshire, also to do some doorknocking," explained Calabrese. When Trump makes his inauguration speech and cites his vision for the country, there are a few things she'd like to see him address. A top priority for Calabrese is border security. "It's costing the commonwealth hundreds of millions of dollars. And I just really felt like, you know, that was what people were looking for. We've got to secure that border again. We got to ensure our freedoms and the safety and prosperity bring all those things back again," said Calabrese. She'd also like to see lower the cost of groceries, gas, housing, or health care. Additionally, she wants Trump to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine."World peace is a noble pursuit. And we had that under the first Trump administration. And and I fully expect them to bring that back again," said Calabrese. The ceremony for Trump is being moved indoors due to frigid weather. You can watch it live on 22News.
