'''Christina Alexandra Walker''' (born May 22, 1969) is a Superian businesswoman and politician serving as a [[Member of Parliament (Superior)|Member of Parliament]] for Great Falls Area ([[Montana]]'s 1st electoral district) in the [[House of Delegates of Superior|House of Delegates]] since 2007 and as [[Lord Attoreny General|Lady Attorney General]] since 2022. Walker has also previously served as [[Leader of the Opposition (Superior)|Leader of the Opposition]] from 2015 until 2018. A member of the [[United Conservative Party of Superior|United Conservative Party]], Walker served as the party's leader after the resignation of [[Alexander Harper]] on June 24 just before the [[2015 Superian federal election]]. She initially served as an acting leader, but was formally appointed during a [[2015 United Conservative Party leadership election|leadership election]] held later that year.

Born in {{W|Salem, Oregon|Salem}} in [[Clackamas]], [[Astoria]], Christina Walker lived in Astoria for the first decade of her life with her family moving across the nation and establishing their own cabin household in [[British Columbia]] which she and the family still owns to this day. When she was 12, Christina and her family moved to [[Montana]] in [[Superior]]. She would later attend the [[University of Astoria]] after graduating high school and graduated with a degree in {{W|Master Business Administration}}. She lived in Astoria for a few more years before moving back to Superior at the age of 27, however she frequently visits Astoria to see extended family members. Walker would run in the [[2007 Superian federal election]] on the United Conservative Party ticket to succeed [[Ian Walberg]] who had retired and won. 

During her early tenure, Walker was a supporter of Alexander Harper backing most of his legislative agenda such as the Self-Relliance Act in 2012 and the Traditional Marriage Act, though she dissented on foreign policy supporting continued Superian involvement in the [[Syrian Civil War]], but remained a staunch ally of Harper in the House of Delegates. Walker became acting Leader of the United Conservative Party on June 24, 2015 after Harper announced his intention to not run for re-election in the upcoming federal election. Walker was appointed acting leader per the request of Harper himself and she would be the United Conservative Party leader during the 2015 federal election which ended in a victory for the [[Liberal Democratic Party of Superior|Liberal Democratic Party]] and [[Jennifer Granholm]] becoming [[President of Superior]].

She would be formally elected Leader of the UCP on December 16, 2015 and served as Leader of the Opposition during the first term of Granholm's premiership. She would oppose most of the [[Progressive Bloc of Superior|Progressive Bloc]]'s legislative agenda and most of Granholm's government and judicial appointments, though she would commend the Granholm government continuing Superian support to [[Manchuria]] during the [[Sino–Manchurian conflict]] and continued involvement in [[CAS Forces – Manchuria]]. During her tenure as Leader of the Opposition, Walker maintained a moderate degree of support, however factionalism and infighting occured under her leadership and she would resign in 2018 citing her inability to be a more unifying figure and would be succeeded by [[Isaac Dillon]]. Since Dillon was elected party leader, Walker has been a staunch ally of his in parliament.

On January 5 in the aftermath of the [[2022 Superian federal election]], Walker made headlines after it was revealed to the ''[[North Star Tribune]]'' that she has been nominated by Dillon to serve in his incoming administration as the next [[Lord Attorney General]] where she will succeed [[Marcus Travis]] in that role and as the Dillon Administration's chief legal advisor. Her confirmation hearing to the [[High Council of Superior|High Council]] occured on February 2 and she was approved to the position 25–20 and was sworn in on February 5. 

==Early life and education==
Christina Walker was born on May 22, 1969 in the city of Salem in [[Clackamas]], [[Astoria]]. Her father was originally born in Astoria while her mother had been born in Superior and originally moved to the commonwealth in her youth. Walker herself lived in Salem for the first five years of her live and said that she was a quiet girl making only one friend who she became pen pals with after moving to [[British Columbia]]. In British Columbia, she would spend another seven years there completing elementary school before moving to Montana, Superior at the age of twelve. During this time, her parents taught her skills in mailing and she became pen pals with many people that she befriended when she was younger. The frequency in which she and the Walker family moved as due to her father's job and it wouldn't be until the move to Montana that her family would settle down for good. 

Walker attended a local high school and would attend the University of Astoria in {{W|Seattle}} half a year after graduating. Because she had extended family living in Astoria and Seattle, she had proper support if and when needed and would major in business while at the university. During her time in Astoria, she would frequently visit her family's log cabin in British Columbia as a vacation getaway home. During her time living in Astoria, she would meet Brian Walker and they would develop a relationship. Eventually, the two would become so close, that Walker would move back to Superior in 1996 when she was 27 and would settle down in Montana. The two would set up a business in {{W|Glasgow, Montana|Glasgow}} in 1997, a bakery called Glasgow Eats, and would both personally run it. In 2004, both Brian and Christina married and formally settled down. They would have their first child a year later in 2005. 

Both before and after moving to Superior, Christina was a supporter of [[Alexander Harper]] from his time as a House Delegate leading the opposition to his election to the position of president during the [[2003 Superian federal election]]. After moving to Superior, the couple would donate to candidates of the newly created United Conservative Party with Walker participating in fundraising events. In early 2007, Walker herself would develop the desire to get involved in politics and announced her candidacy for the House of Delegates on March 6 of that year.

Initially Walker was an acting Opposition Leader, but would be formally elected in December 2015 as party leader and was thus allowed to serve a full term as Leader of the Opposition. In January 2016, she presented the opposition's formal response Granholm's [[State of the Union (Superior)|State of the Union]] address where she criticized her rescinding of Harper-era executive orders and policies, accused her of threatening religious freedom, and her budget which increased funding for welfare programs.

After Harper had resigned as Leader of the United Conservative Party as part of his planned stepping down from public office, Christina Walker was chosen to serve as acting party leader per the request of Harper himself and she became the first woman to serve as Leader of the United Conservatives on June 24. The resignation came admist the campaign season for the [[2015 Superian federal election]] in which the Liberal Democrats had been polling strongly due to the controversial and increasingly unpopular Harper government and its policies.
