Jon S. Cardin (born January 12, 1970) is an American politician from Maryland and a member of the Democratic Party. Previously he served in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Maryland's District 11 in Baltimore County, and was a member of the Ways and Means Committee. Cardin chaired the Election Law Subcommittee. Cardin is the nephew of Ben Cardin, a United States Senator from Maryland.
In 2014, he ran for Attorney General of Maryland, but lost in the Democratic primary to state senator Brian Frosh.
Cardin attended Tufts University for his undergraduate work and spent two years teaching Spanish at Mercersburg Academy. He returned to school to earn a Master of Policy Sciences degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a Masters of Arts degree in Judaic Studies from Baltimore Hebrew University, working before and after completion of the two degrees for the Baltimore Jewish Council and the Project Judaica Foundation. He again returned to school to earn a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Maryland School of Law. Cardin clerked for U.S. District Court Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. before full-time employment as an attorney.
Cardin was elected to the House of Delegates in 2002, 2006, and 2010. Previous to Cardin's 2002 election, his uncle Senator Ben Cardin, great uncle Maurice Cardin, and grandfather Meyer Cardin held the same seat. Cardin did not seek a 2014 reelection run, as he ran for Attorney General of Maryland.
