Kevin A. Sorenson (born November 3, 1958) is a Canadian politician and fomer Minister of state for Finance under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Sorenson is a member of the Conservative Party of Canada in the Canadian House of Commons, representing the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot since 2000 (known as Crowfoot from 2000 to 2015). He has also been a member of the Canadian Alliance (2000–2003). He has served as the former Opposition critic to the Solicitor General, and of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. Sorenson represents a riding that is very conservative even by the standards of rural Alberta; most of his territory has been held by a centre-right MP without interruption since 1935. He has won the riding by some of the largest margins ever recorded in Canadian politics. He was first elected in 2000, taking 70.5 percent of the vote, and since then has never dropped below 80 percent of the vote. In January 2006, he was re-elected with 82.5 per cent of the popular vote, the highest total recorded by a Conservative candidate in that election. Sorenson is the chair of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. On July 15, 2013, Sorenson was named to cabinet by Prime Minister Harper as Minister of state for Finance. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kevin Sorenson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
