Bush and Deputy Secretary of U.S. Homeland Security Elaine Duke.</p><p class="p-text">Abbott recently named Sharp to oversee the Commission to Rebuild Texas, a newly formed task force that is focused on rebuilding the state after the hurricanes. </p><p class="p-text">Abbott said Strait's visit came after the country singer asked what he could do to help "shine a spotlight" on the South Texas region's recovery efforts. Strait — known in music circles as the "King of Country" — and fellow musicians helped raise more than $50 million to benefit Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma recovery in Texas, Florida and other areas during the Sept. 12 Hand in Hands telethon.</p><div id="module-position-Qp1AXJsotJw" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="wide single-photo"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/c28f140d44aea85808df069d7b53b30b523a2341/c=581-0-5177-3456&amp;r=x408&amp;c=540x405/local/-/media/2017/09/21/TXGroup/CorpusChristi/636416108189386944-688588001strait-rockport04.JPG" alt="A crowd of a few thousand gathered in Rockport, TX" width="540" height="405" data-mycapture-src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2017/09/21/TXGroup/CorpusChristi/636416108189386944-688588001strait-rockport04.JPG"

"We were talking and he said, 'Governor, we need to shine a spotlight on Rockport, on Aransas County, to let people around the world know how important this is.'"</p><p class="p-text">Taulbert said she was hopeful Strait's visit would do just that. She and her husband are rebuilding their business, which got national attention when media outlets showed boats from the business strewn about. She and her husband live on South Padre Island and commute two hours a day to Rockport to manage their business because "we love Rockport."</p><p class="p-text">"I love George," she said. "He's just a good person who does good things for people."</p><p class="p-text">Strait said he wanted to show Rockport and the surrounding areas — Fulton, Port Aransas and Aransas Pass — that "you're not forgotten." Some residents felt Houston had received more attention due to the severe flooding that crippled that large metropolitan area, even though Aransas County and surrounding areas received the brunt of Harvey's 130 mph wind damage.</p><p class="p-text">"We're going to keep a light shining on this area," Strait said.
