ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 90%

All three cited sources are reachable and each verbatim quote was confirmed word-for-word. The CHAMPIONED outcome is supported on both prongs. (1) Delivery: the promised senior tax relief was actually enacted — the retirement income exemption was doubled from $6,000 to $12,000 via HB10, corroborated independently by the Governor's office (gov.louisiana.gov) and RSM US (signed into law Dec 4, 2024). (2) Leadership: as Governor, Landry took executive actions only he could take to drive the reform — WAFB documents that he CALLED the special session on 2024-10-28 (the promise date) and named "tax relief for seniors" as an objective; he then publicly championed the package and signed it into law. This is genuine origination and leadership of the effort, exceeding a mere vote or statement of support, so CHAMPIONED rather than FULL is appropriate. The senior provision was one delivered piece of a broad package, but the specific promised senior relief was fully realized.
