Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on January 21, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Gary Locke! From steering Washington State as its 21st Governor to navigating the complex waters of commerce in President Obama's cabinet, you've always had a knack for making tough jobs look easy. Clearly, your secret superpower is turning bureaucratic challenges into smooth sailing—can you share some tips?

Whether it's championing trade agreements or advocating tirelessly for education and innovation, your legacy continues to inspire us all. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer policy memos and more cake slices; after all those years serving public office with distinction, you've certainly earned it!

Cheers to another year of success!
