The verified commitment is an action commitment to support H.R. 10715, not a promise that the visa-renewal policy would be enacted. Verified evidence shows Jackson of Illinois was among those introducing/supporting the bill, and the bill text matches the promised policy of allowing covered nonimmigrant visa holders to renew from within the United States. This is material candidate contribution during the same congressional term, even though enactment is not shown.
