Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), chairman of the powerful tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, plans to retire after his current term, he announced Monday.
Camp said in a statement that his decision "was reached after much consideration and discussion with my family. Serving in Congress is the great honor of my professional life. I am deeply grateful to the people of the 4th Congressional District for placing their trust in me. Over the years, their unwavering support has been a source of strength, purpose and inspiration. During the next nine months, I will redouble my efforts to grow our economy and expand opportunity for every American by fixing our broken tax code, permanently solving physician payments for seniors, strengthening the social safety net and finding new markets for U.S. goods and services."

Another surprise retirement from Michigan. More Republican seat than Rodgers, by a couple points. 53.5% Romney.
Can we get a solid conservative in there?
Don’t know who’s running. This is another surprise announcement as big as Rogers’.
If we can get Kevin Brady in there we can!
I remember reading a couple of years ago or so that he was undergoing treatment for lymphoma.
Another RINO leaving? How is the district of his? Is it Republican?
