ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 86%

Both cited PRIMARY sources (.senate.gov official press releases) were fetched and verify cleanly. (1) The Markey release confirms Sens. Markey, Hirono, and Duckworth reintroduced the Right to Contraception Act on 2/5/2025, with Hirono at co-lead level (named in the release title); the attributed quote appears verbatim. (2) The Hirono release confirms Hirono as a lead sponsor reintroducing the EACH Act to end the Hyde Amendment on 7/25/2025; the attributed quote appears verbatim. Both quotes are authentic and correctly attributed to Hirono. Crucially for CHAMPIONED, both sources document genuine LEADERSHIP — co-reintroducing and lead-sponsoring legislation, i.e., authoring/driving bills — not a mere vote or generic statement of support. This directly substantiates the promise to "continue working to defend reproductive rights." The named vehicle in the promise (the Reproductive Health Patient Navigator Act, Cortez Masto-led with Hirono as co-introducer) is not among the two cited sources, but the promise's core commitment was to keep working on reproductive rights broadly, which the two documented lead sponsorships satisfy. Non-passage of the bills does not diminish the outcome because the promise was to continue advocacy, not to enact a specific statute. Confidence is high but not maximal because the specifically named RHPNA is documented only indirectly and Hirono's role on it was co-introducer rather than sole author.
