About Peter Neffenger

This site is case-file commentary on documented official acts of a public figure. He is a former Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (Senate-confirmed June 22, 2015, 81–1), former 29th Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, later chair of Smartmatic’s U.S. board (company release Oct 24, 2018), and a Biden DHS agency-review volunteer (Sep 2020–Jan 2021) while still Smartmatic chair per a Delaware Superior Court paraphrase of his deposition. He is not a judge. Identity confidence: high (Senate / House / company release / Wayback / Delaware). Official USCG portrait. Episodes live on the home case file.

Peter Vance Neffenger appears in Senate roll-call records, House witness bios, GovInfo hearing HTML, Smartmatic’s Business Wire release, the Biden-Harris transition roster (Wayback), Delaware Superior Court opinion text, Harvard NPLI, and CNA trustee pages. Other Neffengers may exist; do not collapse them into this official without matching the TSA / USCG record. This page is identity only. Do not confuse his Smartmatic U.S. board chair announcement with Mark Malloch-Brown’s separate SGO group-chair packet.

What this site is not

It is not a finding that Peter Neffenger committed a crime. Powell’s software claims are Claims. Smartmatic company FCPA coverage is not a personal charge unless a primary says so. He is a former TSA / USCG official — not a judge. Read the case file and the disclaimer.
