Congressman Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, issued the following statement today on Congressman Dave Camp, R-Midland, who announced he will retire at the end of this year:

"Michigan is losing an outstanding Representative and leader with Dave Camp's retirement announcement today.  Dave never shied away from the challenge of being a governing Republican.  He has a long record in support of jobs and improving the nation's economy in everything he touched. 

“I will genuinely miss the strong partnership we had with the unprecedented privilege of Dave at the helm of the Ways and Means Committee and me with the Energy and Commerce Committee."
