Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on March 05, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Jeffrey L. Barnhart! From navigating the halls of North Carolina's legislature to championing policies with wit and wisdom, you've always known how to keep politics lively—and occasionally humorous. Your decade-long tenure from 2001-2011 was marked by dedication, leadership, and perhaps most impressively—surviving countless committee meetings without nodding off!

As you celebrate another year around the sun, may your days ahead be filled with as much success (and fewer debates) than those memorable years in office. Here's hoping retirement has brought relaxation rather than filibusters at family dinners! Cheers to a birthday that's bipartisanly fantastic!
