Albert "Al" Sorensen (born February 19, 1932) is an American politician who served as a Democratic Iowa State Senator from 1991 to 1997. He joined the Senate after winning a special election in 1991, his predecessor, Jack Nystrom (R-Boone), having resigned to serve on the Iowa Liquor Commission.[1] He won re-election in 1992, but lost in 1996 to Republican Jerry Behn.
During his second term in the Senate, Sorensen served on several committees in the Iowa Senate - the Agriculture committee; the Natural Resources, Environment and Energy committee; the Small Business, Economic Development & Tourism committee; the State Government committee; and the Local Government committee, where he was the chair.
Sorensen was elected to the Boone County Board of Supervisors in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. He was nominated to be the Democratic candidate for the 24th Senate District, challenging Republican incumbent Jerry Behn in the 2008 general election.[2]
