H.R. 4782 was introduced with Mr. Riley of New York listed among the original introducers/cosponsors. The bill would direct USDA to establish cooperative agreements to increase local food purchases, support covered local producers, broaden partnerships with producers and the food distribution community, purchase local foods from covered producers, distribute them through nonprofits and other food-distribution organizations, and build economic opportunity for local producers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Riley took concrete legislative action in the 119th Congress on a bill directly matching the commitment: local food procurement partnerships connecting producers with food-distribution and community channels.

Riley promised to support programs connecting farmers with nearby institutional and community buyers. During his current House term, he materially supported that exact policy by joining H.R. 4782, the Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Act, and voting for H.R. 7567 after it incorporated a local farm-to-community buyer program. Because the promise was framed as support rather than guaranteed enactment, these same-term legislative actions satisfy the commitment.
