Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on September 09, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Senator Richard Devlin! Another year wiser and still going strong—clearly your political career ages better than fine Oregon wine. From the House to the Senate since 2003, you've navigated more twists and turns in politics than Portland has coffee shops.

Your dedication over these years is legendary; rumor has it even filibusters take notes when you speak. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer debates about budgets and bills—and a lot more cake!

Cheers to another successful trip around the sun for one of Oregon's finest public servants. May your day be filled with laughter (and bipartisan agreement)!
