Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on December 26, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Evan Bayh! From governing Indiana with charm and wit to navigating the halls of Congress like a seasoned pro, you've always known how to keep politics interesting. Your ability to bridge divides—whether across party lines or between Hoosiers debating basketball rivalries—is truly legendary.

As you celebrate another year around the sun, may your day be filled with laughter brighter than campaign promises and cake sweeter than bipartisan victories. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as those memorable election nights—and fewer recounts!

Cheers on your special day; you're proof that politicians can age gracefully (and humorously)!
