ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 80%

All three cited sources were fetched and independently verify the CHAMPIONED outcome for THIS promise (to lead passage of the reintroduced SEC Whistleblower Reform Act). (1) govinfo.gov confirms S.811 in the 118th Congress with Grassley as PRIMARY SPONSOR/AUTHOR — the introduction language quoted in the rating ("Mr. Grassley (for himself, Ms. Warren, Ms. Collins, Mr. Warnock, and Ms. Cortez Masto) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs") appears verbatim, establishing real leadership rather than a mere vote or expression of support. (2) The Senate Judiciary press release (03.26.2025) confirms Grassley reintroduced the legislation in 2025 and the quote "I'm proud to reintroduce this legislation to increase government accountability by safeguarding the SEC's Whistleblower Program" is genuine. (3) The Katz Banks blog confirms the March 26, 2025 reintroduction verbatim. This is sustained leadership across two Congresses (lead authorship + public advocacy + reintroduction), satisfying the CHAMPIONED bar. FULL is correctly withheld because the promised object — actual passage/enactment — has not occurred; the bill stalled in the Banking Committee both times and is not law. The same standard would apply to either party.
