Both cited sources are reachable and both quotes appear verbatim. The Nevada Independent confirms "raises ranging from 10 percent to 13 percent in the upcoming fiscal year beginning in June, and 4 percent raises the following year," confirms Lombardo signed the bill, AND confirms he originated the proposal ("Lombardo had proposed smaller increases of 8-10 percent and 4 percent in subsequent years"). The Las Vegas Sun confirms his tweet: "Our state employees are deserving of these raises. And I'm grateful we were able to deliver this crucial bill," and a ~12% raise effective July 1 plus 4% the following year. The promise (8% year one + 4% year two) mirrored Lombardo's own executive-budget proposal and was met and exceeded. The CHAMPIONED leadership bar is satisfied by the cited sources: they show executive origination (he proposed the raises as his stated priority) plus enactment (he signed the bill into law) — leadership beyond a mere vote or support. The documented nuance that the Democratic Legislature drove the first-year figure above Lombardo's own numbers is noted but does not negate that the initiative and the specific promised figures were his and that he enacted them. Confidence is slightly below the original 0.85 to reflect the reasonable alternative reading (FULL) given the Legislature drove the larger final percentages, but the leadership evidence in the sources supports CHAMPIONED.
