InfoErin Murphy was born in Columbus, Wisconsin in 1960 and grew up in Janesville, Wisconsin. Her father Bernard worked on the line at General Motors. Her mother Kathleen worked at home raising five children including Erin’s brothers Sean, Tim and Michael and her sister Meghan.

Politics was and continues to be a favorite topic of discussion at the Murphy family table. Erin volunteered on her first campaign in the eighth grade. Her candidate, the father of a classmate, won a seat in the Wisconsin State Senate.

Erin put herself through college and began her career in nursing in 1985. She practiced medical surgical and operating room nursing in Marshfield, Wisconsin. She moved to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1988 and practiced OR nursing at the University of Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis.

She returned to MNA in 2001 as Executive Director where she leads an organization of 18,000 registered nurses and a staff of 42.
