Campaign websitePfeifer's campaign website stated the following:Stop the SpendingWe can’t send our wealth to other nations and fight endless wars when we can’t pay our own bills at home.Lower Cost of LivingOut-of-control Congressional spending has driven inflation higher, and with it Congressional stock portfolios- which must be more closely regulated.Reduce TaxesMake the tax cuts on social security, over-time and tips permanent. I support ending income tax for everyone making under $150,000 annually.Unelect IncumbentsSeven term incumbent Congressional Reps like Ann Wagner are the problem: $36 trillion of incompetent, unprincipled leadership must go.Deport Illegal ImmigrantsTerrorist gang members need to go. Criminals need to go. This is basic common sense. Give them Due Process and a trip back home.Fix US ElectionsRestore trust with voter ID, paper ballots and hand counting at the precinct level. Large sample audit after every election.FINRA Reform #MMTLPRepresentatives are elected to defend citizens from government captured by large corporate interests. Not to keep the people from having their grievances addressed.Increase Government TransparencyThe federal government must be mandated to increase direct and Application Programming Interface (API) access to data. Conversely, the classification process needs reform as our gov’t keeps too much information unnecessarily secret from the people it only exists to inform and serve.— Peter Pfeifer's campaign website (July 14, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

In 2022 I ran for St. Louis County Assessor. I am St. Louis County's largest Republican vote getter in the last election cycle with more than 196,000 votes. I lost in the historically 60% Democrat - 40% Republican County Election along those same party lines. I believe the Republican Party can do better in St. Louis County.

I am a America First, Constitutional Conservative.

I grew up the 5th of 6 children, raised Catholic, Mom

and Dad both worked in the family bakery, we all worked in the family business. Pfeifer's Party Pastries was a second generation business started by my Grandfather around 1930 in St. Louis, MO.

I have been previously elected in 1999 as Alderman in the City of Brentwood, MO, where I fought for the personal property rights of my neighbors and self during a redevelopment which included the threat of Eminent Domain. I successfully coaxed, cajoled, and educated fellow Board of Alderman members to support residents personal property rights and property values. I served my single term, relocated to West St. Louis County and raised two daughters.

I am a 25 year Commercial Real Estate Broker focused Industrial Real Estate, Adaptive Re-use Properties, small to midsized mostly local owner/operator businesses. I have exposure to many types of businesses that keep our economy going and people employed.

I believe the Republican Party is changing, MO-2nd Congressional District has been redrawn and is ready for new Representation. Change is Coming!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Our Nation is 35 Trillion Dollars in Debt! We need to stop spending more money than is raised through taxes. We need to lower taxes.

We need to focus on Domestic issues, America First policies, after we as a Country are Independent and Strong financially, after every U.S. Veteran is cared for in a way that honors their service, after our infrastructure is best in class, after our Military is unparalleled, when we are safe, strong and independent, we can help our neighbors and allies. It is disrespectful to citizens of the United States that we owe $35,000,000,000,000.Illegal Immigration must stop. Removal of illegal aliens must begin immediately. Our border must be secured. We are a nation of laws, we respect our laws, we expect our laws to be followed. We expect there to be consequences when laws are broken. We expect Congress to uphold our laws and hold accountable those in the Government who violate or otherwise subvert our laws, as it is Congress' Constitutional duty to do so.Harnessing the abundance of our natural resources, in order to provide the citizens of the United States the most reliable, consistent, affordable methods for supporting our god given rights.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Individual Rights of United States Citizens.

Personal Property Rights of United States Citizens.

Congressional Oversight of Federal Agencies.

Sovereignty of the United States.

Our National Debt, balancing our Federal budget.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Federalist Papers, The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

I believe that elected officials are responsible to the electorate and citizens that have elected them. Elected Officials not holding up to duties prescribed, should be held to account and removed if necessary. In the Unites States elected officials should not benefit personally from information derived from the legislative process.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To serve, not to exploit elected positions to benefit themselves.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I grew up my Father's Bakery, so my first job was to do what was asked of me, whether that be shoveling snow, cutting grass, pulling weeds, gluing doilies to cardboard rounds for cakes. I have been a full service gas pump attendant, I have bussed tables, been a waiter. Those were the jobs I had growing up.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

It is the governing body that is supposed to be the most reflective of the mood of the country. The two year term is supposed to make accountability readily available to the voters.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Understanding service and an individual with a wide range of experiences and exposure to the District and has a close understanding of the districts needs and wants though engagement is my ideal Representative.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The National Debt. We need to balance our budget.

Border Security.

Economy, we need a strong and independent economy with the ability to self sustain when necessary.

Erosion of Individual Rights by bureaucrats do to lack of oversight. We need a more engaged class of elected officials focused on preserving God given rights and freedoms.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes

What are your thoughts on term limits?

We have them every election. While incumbency has it's strength, the voters do their job when pushed. Personally 3 terms is a goal for my service and at the same time encourage and develop interested servants to be ready to serve.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I always look for the upper hand in negotiations, I will prepare for such negotiations with Missouri's 2nd Congressional District at the forfront.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I would lend the strong voice of Missouri's 2nd Congressional District to the discussion and look to decrease taxation and to shrink the size of the Federal Government.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

To root out waste of tax dollar and stop programs and or expenditures relating waste.

Find fraudulent expenses and stop programs and or expenditure related to fraud.

Find abuse of those elected or appointed members of the Government and bring them to account.

Franklin County Republican Central Committee

Freedom Principle MO - Missouri First PAC

St. Charles County Republican Grassroots PAC

What committees interest you?

Oversight and Accountability

Natural Resources

Veterans Affairs

Ethics

Rules

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Disclose everything. I think we have suffered a great deal by the lack of accountability. Members of Congress seem to take home much more than what the Congressional salary provide.
