Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on April 19, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Michael Madigan! You've spent so many years as Speaker of the Illinois House that even Abraham Lincoln might be impressed by your longevity. Representing the vibrant and diverse twenty-second district for decades surely deserves a medal—or at least an extra slice of birthday cake!

From navigating political storms in Springfield to championing issues important to Illinois' Hispanic community, you've certainly left your mark on state politics. Your ability to stay relevant through multiple eras is legendary—rumor has it you were around when Chicago deep-dish pizza was invented.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter and success!
