Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on November 30, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Senator Richard Burr! From your days representing North Carolina's 5th congressional district to serving as a steadfast senator since 2005, you've certainly proven that politics can age gracefully—just like fine wine or good barbecue sauce.

Whether grilling witnesses in committee hearings or championing bipartisan legislation, you’ve shown dedication and resilience. Your ability to navigate Capitol Hill for decades is impressive; clearly you're doing something right—or at least keeping the secret recipe hidden from colleagues!

Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and perhaps fewer filibusters. Enjoy your special day—you've earned it!
