A lifelong Rockport resident and graduate of Rockport-Fulton High School, Keith Barrett has spent nearly two decades serving the people and coastal resources of Aransas County. As Executive Director and Harbor Master of the Aransas County Navigation District (ACND), Barrett led major recovery efforts after Hurricane Harvey, secured grants, rebuilt critical infrastructure, and protected Rockport and Fulton’s working waterfronts through growth and change.
Now, Keith is ready to bring that experience, accountability, and commitment to the Aransas County Commissioners’ Court.
