Foster fulfilled the specific promise to introduce legislation by introducing H.R. 9675 on July 14, 2026, which would create state grants to expand clinically appropriate opioid treatment access. H.R. 9676 the same day further supports action on opioid-use-disorder treatment capacity. Because the promised action was introduction of legislation, passage was not required for delivery.
