Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 04, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Keith Ellison! Celebrating the man who made history as Minnesota's first African-American congressman and the nation's first Muslim member of Congress—talk about breaking barriers faster than Minnesotans shovel snow in winter!

From championing progressive policies to tirelessly advocating for justice, your dedication has inspired countless people. Whether you're passionately debating policy or proudly representing Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, you always bring warmth and humor—even when facing chilly political climates.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and fewer debates about hotdish recipes. Keep making history (and keep those Minnesota winters bearable)! Happy Birthday!
