This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

References

Not done: The source you provided makes no mention of a birthday, so it cannot be accepted as a source of your claim.
Even if you are the subject of this article, we cannot accept your claim at face value, since we have no means to verify that you are indeed the subject of this article.
Instead, what you may do is make an account and make it clear that you are the subject (either by using your real name for the account or stating your real name on your user or talk pages). Once you do, you will be asked to privately confirm your identity via email, per WP:REALNAME. If you do, and the confirmation is accepted, then you can come back here and ask to make changes to any unremarkable claim of fact (like your birthday) which Wikipedia editors will be able to accept at that point.
