Holly D. Christensen is a wife and a Puyallup, Washington woman who walked into the January 6 story side by side with her husband -- the two of them named together, facing it together. Holly Dionne Christensen made the cross-country trip from Puyallup, Washington to Washington, D.C. with her husband, Scott. They attended the rally at the Ellipse that morning before going to the Capitol. Whatever else is said about that day, the Christensens went as a couple and stood by each other through everything that followed. THE LEGAL FIGHT: Holly Christensen was charged in the District of Columbia with misdemeanor offenses -- entering or remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct, and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building. No assault, no weapon. She and Scott were arrested December 7, 2022, and both pleaded not guilty to all counts in July 2023. Her case remained in pretrial posture, presumption of innocence intact, when President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation closed out the January 6 prosecutions. Holly Christensen was never convicted at trial. (FACT, per DOJ records and the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation.) CASE RECORD: Holly D. Christensen, case number 1:22-mj-259, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed November 28, 2022; arrested December 7, 2022. Charges are charges -- misdemeanors here, resolved without a conviction. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you -- or your family -- claiming it is free, forever.
