Pfeiffer moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida in the 1950s.[1] In 1967, he was elected as a member for the newly established 72nd district of the Florida House of Representatives.[3] In October 1967 he was accused of making false campaign reports but the charges were dismissed the following January.[1] In March 1968 Pfeiffer announced that he would not run for re-election,[6] and he was succeeded by Richard J. Tillman in 1970.[3]

On October 20, 1970, Pfeiffer was found dead in the sea off Cocoa Beach, Florida with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.[1][7]
