Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on September 28, 1969)

Happy Birthday, John Perez! From leading the California Assembly as its 68th Speaker in 2010 to championing progressive policies that made a real difference—your journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Who knew navigating political debates could be done with such wit and charm?

Your dedication continues to resonate beyond your tenure; whether advocating for education or healthcare reform, you've always stood tall (literally and figuratively!). Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter louder than assembly floor applause—and cake sweeter than bipartisan agreement.

Cheers to another year filled with success, humor, and endless opportunities for memorable speeches!
