Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on September 01, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Ander Crenshaw! From congressional halls to Tea Party calls, you've navigated politics with a smile bright enough for Florida sunshine. Who else could hold six caucus memberships without forgetting their meeting passwords? Clearly your multitasking game deserves its own award.

Your leadership in representing Florida's 4th district since 2001 has been impressive—not quite as impressive though as your diplomatic balancing act between serious policy debates and calming the occasional tea party tempest. Here's wishing you many more years filled with humor, success—and possibly another caucus membership or two—you know how to keep things interesting! Cheers!
