Andrew John Sordoni Sr. (February 11, 1887 – February 27, 1963) was an American businessman and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected to three terms in the Pennsylvania State Senate. In 1951, a decade after his legislative service, he was appointed by Governor John S. Fine to be the state's secretary of commerce.[1] Sordoni's tenure as secretary was controversial, with critics highlighting his alleged conflicts of interest and "absenteeism" in the role.[2]
