Governor Abbott Delivers George Strait Checks to Texas Flood Victims Ignored by Fleeing House Democrats

 

Texas Governor Greg Abbott traveled to Ingram, Texas, to deliver $25,000 checks from country-western legend George Strait to families devastated by the deadly Independence Day Hill Country flooding. The checks delivered by Abbott on Saturday were part of the more than $7 million raised during Strait’s benefit concert on July 27. Aid and other support for Hill Country communities is being delayed by Texas House Democrats who broke quorum to stop the state’s congressional redistricting plan.

 

On Saturday, Abbott praised Strait and the non-profit Vaqueros del Mar group, which worked with Strait to organize the benefit concert in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter). In the post, Abbott acknowledged the efforts of the country singer, saying, “Thanks to the King @GeorgeStrait’s ‘Strait to the Heart’ concert, these Texans can begin rebuilding.

 

The country music legend was quick to act after the deadly floods by announcing the benefit concert to be held in Boerne, Texas, a mere 35 miles from Kerrville, within days of the disastrous floods. Strait and members of his Ace in the Hole Band were joined by William Beckman, Ray Benson, Wade Bowen, Dean Dillon, and a host of other artists for the intimate dinner and concert held on July 27. The concert proceeds and donations, more than $7 million, were collected by Vaqueros del Mar at the event.

 

“We as a State are working tirelessly to make sure that the recovery process is as easy and effective as possible,” Governor Abbott said in a written statement. “If you have a need in your area, let us know. There are a lot of people here to assist you with those needs. These checks will help you piece your lives back together, and there’s more help on the way.”

 

As reported by Breitbart Texas, several campgrounds and recreational vehicle parks along the Guadalupe River basin area near Kerrville and other parts of the Texas Hill Country were totally destroyed during the busy July 4 weekend flooding event. A total of 137 deaths were attributed to the early morning surprise flash flood.
