Mucci was a former lobbyist with Missouri Right to Life but switched gears to pursue a public relations career. She was the public relations coordinator for the International Council of Cruise Lines in Arlington, Virginia, and the former director of communications for the Center for the America Founding in Washington, D.C. She also did a stint as a radio talk show host.

Mucci has spoken at the Kentucky Federation of Republican Women’s Convention 2018, Florida Federation of Republican Women State Convention 2013, National Federation of Republican Women’s National Convention in Kansas City 2010, and local FRW clubs in her 18-state region.

After 40 years, FAIR remains the leader in the fight to end illegal immigration, secure America's borders and reduce overall immigration levels. It evaluates policies and seeks solutions to reduce negative impact of uncontrolled immigration on the nation’s security, economy, jobs, education, health care and environment.
