Alan Bruce Sanborn (born July 21, 1957) is a politician from the U.S. state of Michigan, serving parts of three terms in both the Michigan House of Representatives and Michigan Senate.
Sanborn is the son of Lois and Kenneth Sanborn. Kenneth Sanborn is a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives, former Circuit Court judge, and one of the attorneys who undertook the successful defense of Milo Radulovich in 1953. The Radulovich case was a major factor in helping to turn public opinion in the United States against McCarthyism.
Sanborn was born and raised in Mount Clemens, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University and graduated with a B.S. in social science with a minor in political science. He married Lori McQuiston on August 6, 1982. Sanborn and his wife have three children, Adam, Joshua, and Marirose.
Sanborn worked from 1978 to 1998 as a Macomb County probation officer. In 1996, Sanborn challenged and lost to incumbent David Jaye in the Republican primary for the 32nd District of the Michigan House of Representatives. In a special election in February 1998, Sanborn was elected to the seat after Jaye resigned to run for an open State Senate seat.
In 2001, after Jaye became the first member of the Michigan Legislature to be expelled from office, Sanborn came out on top of a field of thirteen Republican candidates, including Jaye, in a primary special election held September 11, 2001. In the heavily Republican district, Sanborn easily won the general special election on November 6, 2001.
