He completed secondary studies in the region and pursued higher education connected to institutions in Castile–La Mancha and neighboring autonomous communities such as Valencian Community. During his formative years he engaged with youth wings of the People's Party (Spain) and participated in municipal associations tied to provincial councils and municipal federations.

Núñez began his political career at municipal level in Almansa, holding elected office within the town council and serving in positions comparable to councilor roles found across Spanish municipalities. He advanced to provincial politics in Albacete and became active within the provincial branch of the People's Party (Spain), aligning with figures who have held leadership in regional party organizations across Castile–La Mancha, Community of Madrid, and Valencian Community. Núñez served as President of the Provincial Council of Albacete, interacting with institutions such as the provincial deputations seen across Spain and coordinating with party counterparts in provinces like Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Ciudad Real.
In regional party politics he rose through internal elections to lead the People's Party in Castilla–La Mancha, succeeding predecessors who contested regional primaries and internal congresses akin to those in Andalusia or Catalonia. His ascent involved campaigning against rival lists and negotiating alliances within the party structure, engaging with national leaders in Madrid including secretaries-general and party presidents who shape candidate lists for Cortes Generales and regional assemblies.
As leader of the People's Party in Castilla–La Mancha, Núñez has been the principal opposition candidate to the regional president from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party. He led electoral strategies for the regional elections and coordinated parliamentary tactics in the Cortes of Castilla–La Mancha, scrutinizing budgets and policies proposed by the regional government headed by figures such as Emiliano García-Page. Núñez's tenure as party president involved public appearances in provincial capitals like Toledo, Albacete, and Ciudad Real, and participation in debates televised regionally alongside leaders from parties including Vox (political party), Podemos, and United Left (Spain) coalitions.
His leadership encompassed organizing party congresses, proposing candidate slates for municipal and autonomous elections, and interacting with national party campaigns for general elections overseen by national figures such as Mariano Rajoy, José María Aznar, María Dolores de Cospedal, and later leaders. Núñez emphasized coordination between provincial deputations, municipal councils, and regional parliamentarians to present unified positions on infrastructure projects, regional services, and fiscal matters debated within intergovernmental forums including meetings with ministers in Madrid.
Núñez's political stance aligns with mainstream positions within the People's Party (Spain), advocating policies that mirror center-right platforms espoused at national congresses and by leaders across autonomous communities like Andalusia, Galicia, and Valencian Community. He emphasizes economic liberalization measures, support for business associations and agrarian groups prominent in Castile–La Mancha such as cooperatives and unions historically represented in regional politics, and prioritizes public administration efficiency themes common to conservative programs. On regional identity and autonomy debates he situates Castilla–La Mancha within the constitutional framework upheld by parties like People's Party (Spain) and defends competencies as allocated to autonomous communities by statutes similar to those in La Rioja or Navarre.
Núñez has engaged in policy disputes with regional Socialist administrations over health service management, education frameworks, and infrastructure investment, arguing for alternative budgetary priorities and oversight mechanisms akin to critiques made by center-right parties in Catalonia and Basque Country. His rhetoric often references national economic performance metrics and electoral promises shaped by party manifestos adopted at national and regional congresses.
Núñez contested municipal elections in Almansa and provincial elections for the Diputación Provincial de Albacete, later leading the People's Party list for the regional elections in Castilla–La Mancha. His campaigns have intersected with electoral cycles for the Cortes Generales, municipal elections across provinces like Albacete, Toledo, and regional contests in Castile–La Mancha. He has participated in regional debates broadcast on networks that cover autonomous politics and faced opponents from parties such as Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, Vox (political party), Podemos, and regionalist formations when applicable. Electoral outcomes under his leadership have shaped the balance of power in provincial deputations and the composition of the regional parliament.
