Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on September 26, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Christine Todd Whitman! From steering New Jersey as its 50th Governor to keeping the environment safe under President Bush, you've always known how to handle tough situations—like navigating political storms and actual hurricanes. Your ability to balance budgets while balancing ecosystems is truly legendary.

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer policy memos than usual. May your day be brighter than the Garden State Parkway at rush hour—and may your celebrations leave an even smaller carbon footprint than your EPA tenure did! Cheers to another year of making history look easy!
