Moody Won't Run for Fifth Term in State Senate

State Sen. Dan Moody (R-Alpharetta) announced recently he will not seek a fifth term in the Georgia State Senate. Since qualifying begins this time next year, Moody wanted to announce his intentions now to allow for others to consider the opportunity.

“It has been an honor to represent the residents of the Roswell area since I was first elected in 2002 and I’m confident a leader in the community will step forward to represent the city’s best long term interests,” said Moody. “It’s a wonderful group of people and they deserve the best. By sharing my intentions at this time, they will be assured all candidates for this office can be thoroughly evaluated between now and the primary election.”

Moody represents the 56th Senate district, which covers a large part of North Fulton County including the entire city of Roswell and parts of a few other cities.

Moody commented he is most proud of his role in securing the passage of legislation to ensure children with disabilities are provided appropriate services. “I tried to focus my attention on the less fortunate people that needed the most help,” he said. Moody successfully led several major Education initiatives through the legislative process.

When asked about his future plans, Moody expressed an interest in helping his physician son with mission work and spending more time with his six grandchildren.
