Camp was joined by his wife Nancy, their three children, mother Norma and sister Margaret to mark this historic occasion. 

Following the swearing in Camp stated, “I am honored the residents of Michigan’s Fourth Congressional District chose me to serve as their U.S. Representative.  As the 113^th Congress begins, I remain focused on giving Michigan families and small businesses economic certainty.  We must encourage job creation through comprehensive tax reform and getting Washington's spending under control so we can get back to a balanced budget.”
