ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 82%

The cited PRIMARY source (Governor Mills's official radio address, 2023-09-01) is reachable and directly documents the promised outcome: a 25% increase in statewide naloxone distribution (25,000 doses). The increase is attributed to Mills's own administration ("we've increased our distribution") and tied to "my Administration['s]... $260 million in funding for behavioral health and substance use services" — i.e., executive-branch action she led and funded, not a mere vote or statement of support. That satisfies the leadership bar required to sustain CHAMPIONED, so no downgrade to FULL/PARTIAL is warranted, and the evidence does not overstate the claim (she delivered exactly the promised 25%). Confidence is reduced because the evidence rests on a single self-reported official statement with no independent corroboration of the metric, the promise says "supply" while the source says "distribution," and the rating's quotation was a light paraphrase rather than verbatim (corrected below).
