From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Alfred Grenfell Jr. (March 18, 1925 – October 27, 1995) was an American politician who served in the Oregon State Senate from 1959 to 1963 and in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1955 to 1959 as a Democrat. In 1962, he ran for a seat on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners. During this campaign, Grenfell was involved in a car accident that killed a man. Initially claiming it to be a kidnapping plot, Grenfell eventually admitted to his role in the crash, having driven the car, which belonged to a woman who was not his wife. Grenfell subsequently lost the support of the Democratic Party and lost the November election. Afterward, Grenfell ran unsuccessfully for office over the decades following the accident. Grenfell died on October 27, 1995.
