Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on December 19, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Senator Rob Portman! From your early days in the House of Representatives to becoming Ohio's steadfast voice in the Senate since 2011, you've navigated politics with grace and humor. Your bipartisan efforts on infrastructure bills showed us all that bridges aren't just for crossing rivers—they're also great metaphors!

Whether championing fiscal responsibility or advocating tirelessly for job creation across Ohio communities, you’ve consistently reminded colleagues (and constituents) how effective leadership can be both serious and refreshingly down-to-earth.

Here's wishing a fantastic birthday filled with laughter—and perhaps fewer filibusters—because even senators deserve cake breaks now and then!
