Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on June 21, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Jim Douglas! From Treasurer to Secretary of State and then Governor—your political journey has more sequels than a Hollywood blockbuster. Vermont still fondly remembers your steady leadership, fiscal wisdom, and the uncanny ability to make budget meetings almost enjoyable.

Whether balancing budgets or charming voters across party lines, you've always shown that politics can indeed have a sense of humor. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, cake (balanced in moderation), and absolutely no recounts required. Cheers to you for proving that good governance never goes out of style—and neither does your timeless wit!
