Succession To Assembly Seat
On April 27, 2009, a special convention was held by Republican county committee members to fill the vacancy caused by Munoz's death. His widow, Nancy Munoz, defeated two opponents, Long Hill Mayor George Vitureira and Long Hill School Board member Bruce Meringolo. The final tally was Munoz 174, Meringolo 34, Vitureira 16. Both Meringolo and Vitureira have filed petitions to appear on the June 2009 Republican primary ballot. Mrs. Munoz will fill the seat for the remainder of the term in January 2010.
The June 2, 2009 primary to fill the two Republican nomintions for Assembly in the 21st District will feature Assemblyman Bramnick, Assemblywoman Munoz, Mayor Vitureira and Mr. Meringlo.
