Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on August 21, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Senator Jon Tester! Another year older and wiser—though we're pretty sure your famous flat-top haircut hasn't aged a day since 2007. Your steadfast dedication on the Senate Appropriations Committee has kept Montana's voice loud, clear, and well-funded in Washington.

From championing veterans' rights to advocating tirelessly for rural communities (and occasionally reminding colleagues that cowboy boots are perfectly acceptable Capitol Hill attire), you've shown us all how politics can be both effective and refreshingly authentic. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching bipartisan support come together—or at least more fun than budget negotiations!
