Allen Christensen is an American politician from Utah. A Republican, he is a member of the Utah State Senate, representing the state's 19th senate district in Morgan, Summit and Weber Counties.

Biography

Christensen attended Brigham Young University, Utah State University and Weber State University. He received his DDS degree from the University of the Pacific.

He sparked a controversy by proposing a bill in the 2010 session of the Utah state legislature that would allow wolves in Utah be "destroyed or removed from the state".[1] According to legal analysis of the bill, it would likely only be enforceable in areas of the state where the wolves are not protected by federal statute.
