Christopher J. Marr (born August 20, 1954) was a state senator from Spokane, Washington, representing Washington's 6th Legislative District in the Washington State Legislature in Olympia. He was defeated in the November 2010 general election by Michael Baumgartner, after one term in office. The election battle between Marr and Baumgartner was considered the most expensive legislative race in Washington State history. Marr's term effectively ended in January, 2011.
Marr was elected to a four-year term in November 2006,[1] and was the first Democrat elected to the State Senate from the 6th District since 1940.[2][3]
