The promise was to support legislation studying the Mullica River for possible Wild and Scenic River designation. Evidence from May 20, 2026 says Conaway led the introduction of the Mullica River Watershed Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2026. Because the claim is about supporting such legislation, leading its introduction satisfies the promised action even without final enactment shown.
