Garcia: Grant Moody emerges from a crowded field to get Commissioners Court nod
If you were aiming to construct the perfect political candidate, you’d probably end up with someone like Grant Moody.He understands military issues, having served 10 years as an active-duty Marine fighter pilot, with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Trish DeBerry vacated the seat last December to run for county judge. Her move triggered a 2022 election, but came too late to allow for primary elections. So the two major-party nominees had to be selected by precinct chairs.Nine candidates applied for the GOP nomination, not counting City Councilman Clayton Perry, who flirted with a run but did not fill out an application form and did not attend Thursday’s meeting.
In a battle between nine candidates who all believe in “life, liberty, law enforcement, lower taxes and election integrity,” as Von Dohlen put it, artificial distinctions have to be conjured up. “Thirteen meetings, over a billion dollars spent and 617 votes counted,” Soules said. “During her tenure, our current appointed commissioner voted with Democrat Nelson Wolff 616 times. That is 99.9 percent.”
On the first ballot, Moody received 27 votes, Barnard got 25 and Soules got 21. As the process went on, Moody’s support grew. “Listen, elections are about choices,” he said. “My opponent is clearly not responsible for all the debt and the actions of the last 20 years on Commissioners Court.The answer was clear. On the fourth ballot, Moody rolled to victory with 74 votes to 28 for Barnard.
