ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 85%

Independently verified two primary sources: (1) govinfo.gov confirms Rep. Laura Gillen introduced H.R. 2049 (Access to Family Building Act) on March 11, 2025 as lead sponsor (with Fitzpatrick and Lawler as cosponsors) — this is the IVF codification prong of the promise. (2) Gillen's official House press release (Feb 11, 2025) confirms she cosponsored H.R. 999 (Right to Contraception Act) — the contraception prong. Being lead sponsor of a bill (not merely a cosponsor or single vote) is the definitional threshold for CHAMPIONED. She actively led on one prong (IVF) and cosponsored another (contraception); prior researcher also credited WHPA cosponsorship (H.R. 12), which I could not independently verify due to congress.gov 403 errors and exhausted web search budget, but the CHAMPIONED rating is already supported by the IVF sponsorship alone. Rating is fair under a nonpartisan standard — a Republican who was lead sponsor of a pro-life codification bill would similarly qualify as CHAMPIONED for that promise. None of these bills have passed (Republican-controlled House), so not FULL. Confidence 0.85 stands.
