ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 72%

All four cited sources are reachable and each supports the CHAMPIONED outcome with its quote appearing verbatim. (1) GovInfo BILLS-117s4174is confirms Murray as lead Senate sponsor of the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act on the promise date (2022-05-10): the intro line "Mrs. Murray (for herself, Mr. Schatz, Mr. Markey, Mr. Wyden, Ms. Cantwell, ...) introduced the following bill" appears exactly. (2) The HELP Committee release (May 10, 2022) matches the promise date and carries the attributed Murray quote about no worker being cheated out of earned pay, documenting her introduction of the Act. (3) The Murray Senate release headline "Murray, DeLauro, Scott Reintroduce Bicameral Legislation to Combat Wage Theft, Strengthen Workers' Rights" (the cited quote) is confirmed verbatim, evidencing reintroduction in the 118th Congress. (4) Quiver Quantitative confirms the 119th-Congress reintroduction, "This bill was received on 2026-06-24, and currently has 25 cosponsors." CHAMPIONED is properly calibrated: Murray authored and led this bill as Senate lead sponsor across three consecutive Congresses, which exceeds passive ATTEMPTED, and it is correctly NOT rated FULL because the bill has never passed either chamber. The evidence does not overstate the outcome. Rating upheld.
