David Pfeffer is a Candidate for the Republican nomination for the New Mexico US Senate Election, 2006. He is currently a member of the Santa Fe City Council, and is a former Democrat.

Pfeffer was born in New York and was drafted in the US Army during the Vietnam War, and he served from 1965-1967, and received a Purple Heart. After returning from the War, and being honorably discharged from the military, he became an active Anti-War Activist. He later assisted the Israeli Workforce during the Yom Kippur War, due in part to his Jewish heritage. He was elected to the Sante Fe City Council in 2002 as a Democrat, after having been a Candidate for it in 1998. However, by 2004 Pfeffer was slowly becoming disillusioned with his party, and during the US Presidential Election, 2004 he supported George W. Bush. In 2005, he finally changed his registration to Republican.

He is running on the issue of Immigration Reform, and on his support for the War in Iraq. He is expected to win the Republican Nomination for US Senate over Ex. State Senator Tom Benavides, and a pair of other minor challengers. However, Democrat Incumbent Senator Jeff Bingaman is expected to win in the General Election.
