Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on October 20, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse! May your day be filled with more joy than a bipartisan agreement and fewer complications than ocean conservation legislation. Your tireless advocacy for protecting our oceans has made waves—literally—and we salute you for keeping Rhode Island's shores pristine.

From passionately championing climate action to co-chairing the International Conservation Caucus, you've navigated political waters smoother than most sailors handle Narragansett Bay. Here's hoping this birthday brings laughter brighter than Senate floor debates and cake sweeter than legislative victories!

Cheers to another year of making history (and perhaps even convincing colleagues that "Whitehouse" isn't just an address)!
