Retired accounting executive Bill Moody prevailed over lawyer and Laura Dukes Beck by a 3-2 margin Tuesday in their runoff for Charleston City Council’s District 11 seat, according to unofficial results.

Moody, 67, received backing not only from several West Ashley council members but also from Mayor Joe Riley, whose recorded phone messages and letters were sent to voters in the West Ashley and James Island district.
