77 years old (Born on November 19, 1947)
Happy Birthday, Congressman Lamar Seeligson Smith! You've been representing Texas' twenty-first Congressional District since 1987—so long that your first campaign posters might now qualify as historical artifacts. Your steadfast dedication and conservative values have made you a timeless classic in politics, much like cowboy boots or barbecue brisket.From championing patent reform to advocating for science policy (and occasionally stirring up lively debates), you've certainly kept things interesting on Capitol Hill. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer filibusters and more cake slices!
Wishing you another year filled with success, laughter—and perhaps fewer committee meetings. Happy Birthday!
