Mike Christian is an American politician. He served as a Republican member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.[1]

In 2016, Christian announced that he would not run for re-election, opting instead to run for Oklahoma County Sheriff against incumbent Sheriff John Whetsel. Christian lost that race.[2] Following Sheriff Whetsel's retirement amidst controversy, Christian announced he would again run for Sheriff,[3] but failed to win the Republican primary.[4]

Christian was known for being pro-life, regarding abortion, but also supporting the death penalty and even threatened to impeach judges that delay executions.[5]

Christian worked for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol from 1995 until 2005, until he retired for medical reasons.[6]
