Albert Baird Cummins (February 15, 1850 – July 30, 1926) was an American lawyer and politician. He was the 18th governor of Iowa elected to three consecutive terms and U.S. senator for Iowa serving for 18 years. He was a leader of the Progressive movement in Washington and Iowa. He fought to break up monopolies. His successes included establishing the direct primary to allow voters to select candidates instead of bosses; outlawing free railroad passes for politicians; imposing a two-cent street railway maximum fare; and abolishing corporate campaign contributions. He tried, with less success, to lower the high protective tariff in Washington.
