The commitment was to support legislation establishing a Civilian Climate Corps, not necessarily to enact it. Verified evidence shows H.R. 10585 would amend the National and Community Service Act to establish such a corps, Bonnie Watson Coleman was listed as a cosponsor, and the bill was introduced and referred to committees. Her cosponsorship is a material candidate contribution fulfilling the support-legislation action in the same term, though enactment of the underlying program remains unresolved.
