Smucker promised to introduce legislation, not necessarily enact it. Official bill evidence shows he introduced H.R. 2221, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act, on April 27, 2017, during his first House term after the campaign. The bill addressed automatic continuing resolutions to prevent shutdowns and included spending-reduction mechanisms, matching both parts of the promise.
