Harp was born in Auburn, Indiana, graduated from DeKalb High School and earned a bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University in 2001.[3] After college he stayed in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and became, in his words, one of the youngest hosts in the history of WKZO radio.[3] He moved to Florida more than a decade ago to serve as Director of Programming and Host for iHeartMedia's Fox Sports Radio and Gator Radio affiliate in Jacksonville.[3]

Harp has been Operations Manager for ESPN Gainesville (WRUF-AM) for about five years, as of his 2025 survey, and has taught as an adjunct at the University of Florida's College of Journalism.[3] FOX 35 describes him as a sixth-grade civics teacher and reports that he comes from a family of veterans, nurses and educators.[4] He won the August 18, 2026 Democratic primary over Tom Wells, Troy Albers and George Hubac.[3] His Ballotpedia profile lists his religion as United Methodist, and his survey describes a platform he calls the "13 Stripes of Strength", which includes a child care proposal he calls the C.U.B.S. Act.[3] During the campaign, he emphasized protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, term limits and child care relief.[2][3][4] He received 43.0% of the vote to Kat Cammack's 55.1%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[1]
