Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on January 20, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Bill Owens! From independent thinker to Democratic congressman, you've proven that changing lanes can lead to great adventures. Your journey since 2009 has been nothing short of inspiring—navigating the halls of Congress with wit and wisdom while keeping your constituents smiling.

Here's hoping your birthday is as successful as your bipartisan efforts and as memorable as those spirited debates on Capitol Hill. May you continue bringing humor, insight, and common sense into politics for many more years ahead. Cheers to another year filled with laughter—and fewer filibusters!
