Senator Ben Cardin stopped by the Northwest One Stop Career Center.
He's pushing a bill that would help unemployed Marylanders get federal benefits for an additional 14 weeks.
The house passed a bill that would only extend unemployment insurance to people living in states where the unemployment rate is higher than 8.5%.
That would not cover people living in Maryland.
Maryland's unemployment rate was 7.2% in September. The national average is 9.5%.
