proponent
Significado: A person who actively advocates or champions a particular idea, theory, or course of action.
Proponent is a staple of formal debate and academic writing, carrying a tone of respectful engagement rather than zealotry. It implies someone who argues for something on its merits. Typically collocates with 'of' — proponent of reform, proponent of nuclear energy. Its opposite is 'opponent,' and the two are frequently paired in balanced reporting.
