Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on December 21, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Representative Zoe Lofgren! You've been serving California and the nation since 1995—proving that some things truly do get better with age (like fine wine or a perfectly drafted bill). From championing immigration reform to steering the House Ethics Committee with grace and humor from 2009 to 2011, your dedication has always shined brightly.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and fewer ethics investigations than usual. May you continue making history—and headlines—for all the right reasons. Cheers to another year of leadership, wisdom, and keeping Congress ethically sound (or at least trying)!
