Early life[]
Nancy Ann Foster was born on September 8, 1954 the daughter of Freda and James E. Foster and graduated from Mark T. Sheehan High School in Wallingford, Connecticut. She holds a B.S. and a M.S. (both in nursing) from Skidmore College and Hunter College, respectively. She has worked as a nurse in Massachusetts General Hospital, the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Overlook Hospital (in her hometown of Summit), and has worked as a risk care manager for Continental Insurance Health Care.[2][3] Munoz is a resident of Summit.[4] In 1984, she married Eric Munoz in Freehold.[2] She has five children with her late husband.
New Jersey Assembly[]
Munoz's husband, a New Jersey General Assemblyman, died at the age of 61 from complications from a ruptured aortic aneurysm on March 30, 2009.[5] In April 2009, Nancy Munoz received the backing of the Union County Republican Party in her efforts to take over her late husband's seat in the legislature.[6] Long Hill Township Mayor George Vitureira and Long Hill School Board member Bruce Meringolo also sought the seat; Vitureira was backed by Morris County GOP chairman John Sette.[7] The Republican Party held a special convention to determine who would take over the seat in Mountainside on April 27; Munoz won with 174 votes, while Meringolo received 34 votes and Vitureira received 16.[8] She was sworn into the legislature on May 21; she was assigned to serve on the Health and Senior Services Committee and the Human Services Committee, taking committee seats previously held by her husband.[9] Munoz took her first steps towards being elected in her own right on June 2, 2009, when she defeated Meringolo and Vitureira in the Republican primary; she subsequently won the general election and has been re-elected to two-year terms since then.
