ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 86%

All three cited sources are reachable and each cited quote appears verbatim. (1) The Wyoming Energy Authority BWXT page confirms the exact quote "Governor Mark Gordon (R-WY) and the Wyoming Energy Authority (WEA) announced today the award of $100 million in Large Project Energy Matching Funds (LPEMF) to BWXT" for a nuclear TRISO fuel fabrication facility in Gillette (Dec 19, 2025). (2) The WEA Energy Matching Funds page confirms "Since 2022, the Wyoming Legislature has appropriated $155 million to the Office of the Governor," describes an explicitly all-of-the-above portfolio (coal, oil/gas, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen, CCUS, nuclear, critical minerals), and states the Governor delegated management to WEA — placing the program under his office. (3) Cowboy State Daily confirms verbatim "The Wyoming Energy Authority announced $100 million in matching funds to BWXT late Friday afternoon." Both parts of the promise — an all-of-the-above energy policy and $100M+ in state matching funds for Wyoming energy projects — are documented as delivered, and the program operates under Gordon's authority with him personally announcing awards, supporting active championing rather than mere passive delivery. Confidence trimmed slightly from 0.9 because these three sources document delivery and executive stewardship but do not directly document the 2022 State-of-the-State origin or Gordon's legislative advocacy to create the fund; the CHAMPIONED designation rests partly on the program being run under his office and his public crediting rather than on direct evidence of him driving the 2022 legislation.
