Members of Congress with February birthdays: a state-by-state calendar
Members of Congress with February birthdays, listed by state with verification guidance for congressional birthday calendars and political staff.
What to take away
- Members of Congress born in February span both chambers and at least 12 states in the 119th Congress.
- Senate birthdays are easy to verify because only 100 members serve, and February has five sitting senators on this list.
- House birthdays below are a representative sample, not an exhaustive roll call, and each mention includes the state and birth date.
- For official confirmation, state vital records offices remain the most reliable source for a sitting member's birth date.
- If you maintain a political birthday calendar, treat disputed dates as unverified until a primary record supports them.
February is the shortest month, but it still yields a manageable set of congressional birthdays. The 119th Congress convened on January 3, 2025, and its members work across 50 state delegations. A state-by-state calendar helps staff, reporters, and constituents mark dates without scrolling through actor or musician lists. This page covers every sitting senator with a February birth date and a representative sample of House members from different states.
Senators born in February
Five current senators were born in February. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was born on February 20. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire was born on February 27. Tim Kaine of Virginia was born on February 26. Bernie Moreno of Ohio was born on February 14. Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland was born on February 23.
A birth date printed on a campaign website is not the same as a date confirmed by a state vital records office. For a federal officeholder, the congressional Biography Directory is a starting point, not a certified record.
House members by state
House delegations are larger, so this section uses a table that is easy to scan by state. The date format is month and day only, because many readers add events without the birth year.
| State | Officeholder | Chamber | February birth date |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | Sara Jacobs | House | February 1 |
| Connecticut | John B. Larson | House | February 22 |
| Kentucky | Mitch McConnell | Senate | February 20 |
| Maryland | Angela Alsobrooks | Senate | February 23 |
| Massachusetts | Ayanna Pressley | House | February 3 |
| Massachusetts | Richard E. Neal | House | February 14 |
| Minnesota | Angie Craig | House | February 14 |
| New Hampshire | Maggie Hassan | Senate | February 27 |
| New Jersey | Bonnie Watson Coleman | House | February 6 |
| New York | Daniel Goldman | House | February 26 |
| Ohio | Jim Jordan | House | February 17 |
| Ohio | Bernie Moreno | Senate | February 14 |
| Oregon | Val Hoyle | House | February 14 |
| Pennsylvania | Brendan Boyle | House | February 6 |
| Virginia | Tim Kaine | Senate | February 26 |
| Washington | Suzan DelBene | House | February 17 |
Fourteen states appear in the table: California, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, and Massachusetts. The next five are Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington complete the list. If you need a complete district-by-district directory, check the official House and Senate rosters, then verify the dates yourself.
How to use this calendar
February has 28 days in a common year and 29 in a leap year. Split the month into four 7-day phases: February 1-7, 8-14, 15-21, and 22-28. In a leap year, February 29 becomes a fifth phase. Each phase lasts seven days, which makes the calendar easy to transfer to a weekly planner.
- Sort the table by state to see which delegations have February birthdays.
- For each officeholder, check the birth date against the state's vital records office if the calendar is for publication.
- Mark the officeholder's birthday in the calendar app or printed page, using the full four-digit birth year where available.

Verification pitfalls
Campaign sites, Wikipedia, and news archives often list different birth dates for the same person. The National Archives explains how state vital records offices preserve birth records. You can request a birth certificate through the CDC's where to write directory. If a campaign site and a congressional biography differ, follow the guidance on reliable sources to weigh conflicting claims.
A useful cross-check is to treat any date that lacks a year as incomplete. For example, a House member's February 14 date may be correct, but if the year is missing, you cannot confirm the exact age. The article on how to verify a celebrity's birth date walks through a two-source disagreement and what to do next.
Example: checking a February birth date
Suppose you want to confirm the birthday of Representative Sara Jacobs of California. You find February 1 listed on her official House page. You then request a copy of the birth record from the California Department of Public Health Vital Records office. The record shows the same month and day, plus the birth year 1989. Now you can add the event with the year attached.
This example is not a claim about any private document. It shows the standard steps: start with an official page, then confirm against a state vital record. The same process works for senators, representatives, and any other public official.
Common questions
Are all February-born members of Congress listed here? No. The table includes all five sitting senators born in February and a representative sample of House members from 14 states. A complete House roster would run hundreds of entries, so this page focuses on verifiable examples.
Why are some members missing even though I know they were born in February? The table only includes current members of the 119th Congress. Former members, deceased members, and those elected to other offices are not included if they no longer serve in the House or Senate.
How do I verify a member's birth date if two sources disagree? Start with the official House or Senate biography, then request a birth certificate from the state vital records office. Use the CDC's where to write directory to find the correct state office, and consult the National Archives guide on vital records for the request process.
Can I import this calendar into a birthday app? Yes. Most calendar apps accept a CSV or ICS file with date, name, and state fields. The article on Celebrities born on July 4 shows a similar list format, and July birthdays by day offers another date-by-date example. Before importing, verify each date against a primary record.
