Gosar Introduces Bill to Strengthen Yuma Proving Ground and Support Military Readiness
I will introduce and press for passage of legislation to strengthen Yuma Proving Ground and support military readiness.
Occurrences
Congressman Paul Gosar ... issued the following statement in response to introducing H.R. 8686, legislation authorizing the withdrawal and reservation of approximately 22,000 acres of federal land in Yuma and La Paz Counties to support the critical national security mission of the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground.
I look forward to securing its passage on the House floor and urge my colleagues to support our brave servicemembers and this important national security measure.

This legislation ensures our service members can safely conduct advanced testing and training operations while protecting the long-term mission of one of the most important military installations in the country. Arizona is proud to support the men and women who defend our nation, and this bill strengthens that mission for decades to come.
Evidence
May 8 - "Gosar Introduces Bill to Strengthen Yuma Proving Ground and Support Military Readiness."
June 10 - "Gosar Applauds Committee Passage of Yuma Defense Readiness Act."
Assessments
Gosar appears to have substantially acted on the promise in the same congressional term by introducing legislation aimed at strengthening Yuma Proving Ground and helping move it through committee. That shows real authorship and advocacy, but the provided evidence does not show final congressional passage or enactment. Under a federal promise standard, that is meaningful progress with candidate credit, but not full delivery.
