Congressman Dave Camp made the surprise announcement Monday that he will be retiring from Congress at the end of 2014.<br />
<br />
There will now be a mad scramble to see who the GOP will put up to replace him on the ballot. Currently Peter Konetchy from Roscommon is the only declared candidate. Possible names that have been mentioned in the past have been former State Senator Alan Cropsey from DeWitt and Senator John Moolenaar from Midland.<br />
<br />
Camp&rsquo;s late withdrawal from the race leaves those interested in running only 22 days to get the needed signature to be on the ballot.<br />
