Verified against a primary source: the congress.gov bill text for H.R. 7567 states 'Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania' introduced the 'Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026' (introduced Feb 13, 2026; referred to the Committee on Agriculture). As Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee (confirmed on his Wikipedia biography), Glenn Thompson is the prime sponsor and driving force behind this bill — he authored the original 118th-Congress version (H.R. 8467) and reintroduced it in the 119th Congress (H.R. 7567). This is active leadership well beyond a single supporting vote. However, the promise as stated — get a full standalone new farm bill to the President's desk — has NOT been fulfilled: per Wikipedia's Farm bill article, Congress instead extended the 2018 farm bill through September 30, 2026, and the FFNSA remains a proposed bill. Thompson did secure enactment of key farm-title provisions through the 2025 reconciliation law (One Big Beautiful Bill Act), which raised Price Loss Coverage / Agricultural Risk Coverage reference prices (~$54B over 10 years) and increased crop insurance spending (~$6.3B) plus USDA disaster relief. CHAMPIONED (+0.75) is the correct label: he led and drove the effort and produced partial results, though the promised full enactment did not land. This is not partisan leniency — the same record from a member of either party (prime sponsor + committee chair + reintroduction + partial enactment via reconciliation, but no full bill signed) warrants CHAMPIONED, not FULL and not merely PARTIAL/ATTEMPTED.
