Verified evidence shows Riley introduced H.R. 10598 with Gallagher and the bill was referred to committee, and the bill text would authorize a grant program for rural transportation projects. The verified record does not show enactment or implementation of the federal grant program as of 2026-10-02, so introduction alone is effort, not fulfillment of the promise to establish the program.
