Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on June 17, 1965)

Happy Birthday, John Sampson! Another year wiser—but who's counting? From your dedication as Minority Leader of the New York Senate between 2011 and 2013 to countless spirited debates on Albany's floor, you've always shown endless energy—proving politicians actually do age gracefully.

Through ups and downs in political arenas, your commitment has stood strong. Here's hoping this coming year brings even more achievements—and perhaps fewer filibusters! So roll up those sleeves (again) for another round in life's senate chamber: cake awaits votes from all sides!

Cheers to you becoming timeless—as only legends can. Happy Birthday, Senator!
