Munoz widow expected to seek Assembly seat

Nancy Munoz is expected to seek the State Assembly seat of her late husband and will likely file nominating petitions for the District 21 seat before the Monday filing deadline.  Eric Munoz, a five-term Republican from Summit, passed away last Monday at the age of 61. Nancy Munoz is likely to receive endorsements from top GOP officials.  Former Summit Councilwoman Kelly Hatfield, who had a chilly relationship with Eric Munoz, had been viewed as a leading candidate for the seat.
