David Lee "Dave" Camp (born July 9, 1953) is the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 4th congressional district, serving since 1991. He is a member of the Republican Party and the current Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Camp was born in Midland, Michigan to Norma L. Nehil and Robert D. Camp. [2] He graduated from H.H. Dow High School in 1971. He attended the University of Sussex, Brighton, England, 1973–1974 and earned his B.A., magna cum laude, in 1975 from Albion College in Albion, Michigan. He earned a J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1978.
From 1979 to 1991, he was a partner with the law firm Riecker, Van Dam & Barker Private Counsel.
Camp also worked as a member of the Midland County, Michigan board of canvassers and a member of the Midland County Republican executive committee. He was special assistant to the Michigan attorney general from 1980 to 1984. He served on the staff of his longtime friend U.S. Representative Bill Schuette (R-MI) from 1984 to 1987. In 1988, he ran and won Michigan's 102nd District of the Michigan House of Representatives and served one term. [3]
Camp was listed as a rising star within his party during his freshman term in Congress. In the 108th Congress, he served as a deputy majority whip and on the House Ways and Means Committee, a position that he used to advance welfare reform. Time magazine listed Camp's efforts as crucial to the passing of this new policy.
Camp has been accused of being a rubber stamp for large corporations and Wall Street. [4] [5]
