Camp Weighing Potential Senate Bid

Chairman Camp noted, “It’s a big decision, and I’m going to look at it very carefully and thoughtfully.” There are no indications that this preliminary development has retracted his attention from comprehensive tax reform. As for background, Chairman Camp has more than $3 million the bank as of June 30, according to his most recent campaign disclosure report; and the filing deadline for Senate candidates in Michigan is April 22, 2014.
