The verified commitment was an action promise to continue supporting community prevention, treatment, and recovery programs, not a specific pledge to enact a particular bill or secure a named grant. Verified evidence shows Larson joined a bipartisan letter demanding immediate restoration of SAMHSA mental health and addiction-service funding, which is a documented material act of support for the relevant federal programs during the same term. Other verified grant records show relevant funding occurred in Connecticut but do not themselves establish Larson's material contribution, so they are not needed for attribution.
