Christian was reported missing Tuesday after he failed to appear for a scheduled meeting. According to the Harmon County Sheriff’s Office, he was last seen driving his Ram truck.
His final Facebook post came Saturday, when he invited residents of the district to attend a meet-and-greet at the Mangum Oklahoma Rattlesnake Festival to discuss “issues that matter most to our community.”
A campaign site for Christian described him as the “conservative choice” for District 38, pledging to “proudly stand with President Trump” and “fight for the traditional conservative values that make America great” if elected.
In a statement to KOCO, Brooklyn, Christian’s daughter, said her family’s world is now “upside down” following the devastating discovery. “Please pray for our family and friends. Our world is upside down right now. We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad’s legacy with dignity,” Brooklyn said.
“We are extremely grateful to everyone who assisted in the search efforts, and all of the media outlets that shared his information. I know there will be lots of people devastated by his passing,” she added.
Earlier this year, Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., announced the death of his longtime aide and campaign manager, a loss he said stunned those who knew her. Barr, who is running for the U.S. Senate, said in a statement Thursday that his deputy chief of staff and campaign manager, Tatum Dale, had died.
He highlighted her contributions to his congressional office and her role in his campaign for statewide office.
