Evidence

The official Angus King legislation page search returned no matching text for "Agricultural" or "Agricultural Management Assistance". The visible recent sponsored/cosponsored items run through 2026-04-30 and are unrelated to this claim, so this page provides no direct sign that King introduced AMA-specific legislation in the lookback window.

No AMA-specific bill is visible on King's official legislation page; the accessible recent list shows unrelated legislation only.

No official press release found announcing an AMA bill during the lookback period.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

Available primary evidence does not show that Sen. Angus King introduced AMA-specific legislation. His official press-release page and official legislation page show no matching Agricultural Management Assistance item in the accessible record, but those negative results are not a definitive congressional bill search and do not conclusively prove the legislation was never introduced in another Congress or under a broader farm-bill vehicle. Because the promise is specifically to introduce legislation, and the current record here is insufficient to confirm either introduction or non-introduction, the most defensible judgment is unresolved.
