Rep. Marcia Fudge, 58, says it is “an honor and a privilege” to be asked to join President Biden’s Cabinet.
“It is something in probably my wildest dreams I would have never thought about. So if I can help this president in any way possible, I am more than happy to do it,” she said.
Fudge was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 29, 1952. She graduated from Shaker Heights High School in 1971 and attended Ohio State University where she earned a degree in business in 1975. In 1983, she earned a juris doctor from Cleveland State University Cleveland–Marshall College of Law.

I neither expected sparks nor extreme surprises as President-elect Joe Biden begin to announce his Cabinet. I did expect diversity, and we’ve seen it. But I didn’t expect the number of Obama-era retreads to be included in this Cabinet.
As I write this, I can hardly contain my disappointment that Tom Vilsack, the man who fired Shirley Sherrod for specious reasons, is being asked, again, to lead the Department of Agriculture. Many of us had hoped that Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, who served several years on the House Committee on Agriculture, would get this position. Instead, she has was nominated to be the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), still a cabinet position.
