Pooler, GA – Harrison Deal, 20, was a Loeffler staffer. Just hours before a rally for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia, Mr. Deal was killed in a fiery car crash. Deal was not just a staffer for Kelly Loeffler, he was the boyfriend of Governor Kemp’s daughter.
It is with an extremely heavy heart that we mourn the loss of Harrison Deal. My heart aches for his family, and Jeff and I will continue to surround them in love and prayer in the days ahead. Harrison was a beloved member of our campaign team. More importantly, Harrison was a smart, bright, loving, loyal and outstanding young man. Harrison embodied the very best of this campaign – and the very best of our state. We will forever cherish and honor Harrison’s memory, and I ask every Georgian to join us in praying for his family during this difficult time.

The accident occurred at around 10 a.m. on Interstate 16, in Pooler, Georgia, on December 4. Four vehicles collided, three of them were engulfed in flames as firefighters arrived. The four vehicles were a flatbed trailer carrying steel, two smaller vehicles, and a semi-tractor-trailer (WJHL). Harrison Deal was the only casualty. Senator Loeffler and Governor Kemp both opted out of the rally in order to cope with the loss.
The rally included Vice President Pence in Savannah, Georgia.
Today we lost a member of our ‘Kemp Strong’ family and words cannot express how much Harrison Deal’s life, love, and support meant to us. He was a person of deep faith, unmatched integrity, and incredible kindness. Harrison was the Kemp son and brother we never had.
Our prayers are with the Deal Family – and countless others – as they mourn the tragic loss of Harrison. He brought people together and made everyone feel important and special.
2020 has been marked by adversity, tragedy, and pain. For the Kemp Family, weathering this storm will be the most difficult challenge yet.

Fox 23 reported that Harrison Deal had once interned for the other Georgia Senator, David Perdue in 2019.
“Harrison was a smart, kind young man with a bright future ahead of him, and he is gone too soon. We are praying for his parents, Curt and Jenni Deal, and his sisters, Hannah and Halli. I ask the people of Georgia to join us in keeping the entire Deal family in their hearts on this terrible day.”
