All three cited primary sources (North Dakota Office of the Governor) are reachable and support the outcome. Source 3 (Jan 7, 2025 State of the State) verbatim contains the exact promise language: "It will put the bulk of primary residences on a path to zero within the next decade." Source 1 (May 3, 2025) confirms Armstrong signed HB 1176, tripling the Primary Residence Credit from $500 to $1,600/year, funded by a dedicated Legacy Fund earnings stream estimated at $409M in the 2025-27 biennium (the Legacy Fund sentence is verbatim; the credit-increase clause is lightly paraphrased but every figure is accurate — not fabricated). Source 2 (Dec 19, 2025) verbatim confirms Armstrong and legislators "worked together last session to more than triple the PRC from $500 to $1,600 per year" and that the credit wiped out property taxes for ~30% of eligible households (~50,000). Leadership is genuine and documented: Armstrong proposed the "path to zero" plan in his State of the State, drove it through the legislature, and signed it into law — executive championing far beyond a single vote or passive support (lawmakers went "beyond the $1,550 credit he proposed"). CHAMPIONED is the correct label: real leadership plus enacted structural action directly implementing the promise, but the ultimate decade-out goal (the "bulk" of residences at zero) is not yet realized and depends on future legislatures continuing to grow the credit, so it is not FULL. The rating does not overstate the evidence.
