Fred LaVar Christensen (born August 18, 1953), known as LaVar Christensen, is an American politician from Utah, who served as a Republican state representative from the state's 48th district.

2002

Christensen was elected to the Utah State House of Representatives (District 48 in Sandy/Draper) in 2002.

His committee assignments included Vice-Chair of Education, Budget Appropriations for Public Education, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice; Chair of Judicial Rules Review Committee and member of the Constitutional Revision Commission.

Christensen was defeated by the incumbent, Jim Matheson, in the 2006 mid-term election and subsequently left the Utah House of Representatives.

2006 While Christensen won in several lesser-populated counties, he lost in traditional Republican strongholds, such as San Juan County, Daggett County, and Emery County.

He lost the largest county: Salt Lake County, Utah by 49,264 votes and was unable to make up such a large vote deficit.

Christensen campaigned in 2006 as the Republican candidate in a traditionally Republican district.

Like Matheson's Republican challengers in the past, Christensen's advertisements focused primarily on party affiliation and national issues.

His campaign motto was "America Needs Utah".

His advertisements frequently mentioned that Nancy Pelosi would become Speaker of the House if the Democrats won a majority.

2008

However, Christensen filed his candidacy with the Lieutenant Governor's office in March 2008 to run for the same Utah House seat he vacated in 2006.

In May 2008, he defeated the incumbent, Representative Sylvia Andersen, who took over the seat in 2006, at that year's GOP nominating convention and was the party's nominee in the general election for that cycle.
