Шаблон:Short description Albertus LeRoy (A.L.) Freehafer (February 12, 1868, in Butler, Richland County, Ohio – October 28, 1940, in Payette, Idaho) was a Democratic politician from Idaho. He was a son of Andrew Freehafer and Martha Ellen Kinton, both natives of Richland County, Ohio.

From 1907 to 1908, he represented Washington County, Idaho, as a member of the House of Representatives, and was a minority leader in the assembly. He served two terms as a state senator. As senator, he represented Washington County, Idaho, from 1909 to 1912 and Payette County, Idaho, from 1929 to 1934.

In 1911, Senator Freehafer introduced a bill, written by L.L. Burtenshaw, to the state legislature of Idaho to create Adams County. The bill passed on March 3, 1911.[1]

In 1924, A.L. Freehafer was a Democratic nominee for Governor of Idaho, but finished behind H.F. Samuels, the Progressive candidate, losing by only 81 points. The Republican governor, Charles C. Moore, came in third.[2]

Freehafer is the grandfather of James (Jim) Albertus McClure, a former Republican United States Senator from Idaho.
