Occurrences
Evidence
Riley's office said he helped secure final congressional passage of the bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and that he cosponsored it to expand school milk options and help Upstate New York dairy farmers.
Assessments
Riley appears to have helped advance and pass a federal dairy-related nutrition bill that supports dairy farmers and school milk options, which aligns with the broader promise. However, the evidence does not show the specific yogurt-expansion part of the pledge being delivered, so the promise was only partially fulfilled.
