DETROIT (Reuters) - U.S. Representative David Camp said on Friday he would not run for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat in 2014 despite pleas from fellow Republicans that he would be the strongest candidate for the party.

Camp, chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House, said he would focus instead on creating a "more effective and efficient" U.S. tax code in Congress.

"After much thought and careful consideration, I have decided not to run for the United States Senate," Camp said in a statement.

His decision leaves Republicans without a leading candidate for the Michigan seat being vacated by longtime U.S. Senator Carl Levin, a retiring Democrat.
