The first-time candidate used his résumé and connections to become the nominee for Trish DeBerry's unexpired term, winning the seat over Democrat Susan Korbel.
“The crazies all eliminated each other and eventually fell in with a non-crazy,” said Kevin Wolff, a Republican and former Precinct 3 commissioner who supported DeBerry’s appointed successor, Marialyn Barnard, but later hosted a fundraiser for Moody. “Grant was in the right place at the right time,” Wolff said.
That hasn’t stopped observers from speculating Moody’s time on the Commissioners Court could be short if a bigger political opportunity presents itself. In fact,“I guess it’s interest, right? There’s interest in me, and there’s interest in, ‘What’s he going to do?’ Or ‘Who is he?’” Moody said of the dynamic.
“He had kind of a data science specialization so I introduced him to some folks [at USAA] and they obviously loved him, brought him in right off the bat,” said Peace, who worked on marketing and business development for the company’s mortgage business. The following year Gov. Greg Abbott appointed him to the Texas Veterans Land Board, and Moody continued to draw interest from heavyweights in the conservative movement. In 2019 Moody partnered with the conservative think tank Texas Public Policy Foundation to launch a San Antonio chapter of their leadership council for young professionals.
