CHAMPIONED is upheld. Tina Kotek did not merely support middle-housing legislation — she led it in both her offices. As Speaker of the Oregon House she was the chief sponsor who introduced HB 2001 (2019), the first-in-the-nation statewide law re-legalizing middle housing (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, cottage clusters) on residentially zoned land in larger cities; her authorship/origination is documented by Sightline (verified verbatim: the House Speaker "has proposed a logical next step: removing local bans on duplexes, triplexes and quads") and independently corroborated by Wikipedia, TCF, and OPB, which identify her as the bill's main sponsor. As Governor she continued to lead housing supply as her top priority and signed a 2025 package: the Governor's official newsroom (PRIMARY, verified verbatim) states "House Bill 2138 legalizes and speeds up the production of middle housing," and describes HB 2258 providing pre-approved plans for duplexes, townhomes and other middle housing — covering both promised elements (increasing middle-housing production and strengthening pathways to home ownership). This is genuine leadership evidence (sponsored/authored/led), not a mere vote, so CHAMPIONED holds.
