The verified commitment occurrence lists Ms. Elfreth among members for whom H.R. 10297 was introduced, and the verified bill text states that the bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate El Salvador for temporary protected status. Because the claim is to support legislation requiring that designation, not to secure enactment or DHS designation itself, her cosponsorship/introduction support satisfies the promised action in the same congressional term. The bill being referred to committee shows effort but does not prove enactment of the broader TPS outcome.
