"I have a mask that says 'Leslie Knope would have had a binder for this,' and that’s the one I chose to wear while voting in the 2020 election," says Rachel Leishman of the Parks and Recreation character. "It both delights me and makes me sad because Leslie Knope is honestly who this country needs right now, but the problem is that she’s a perfect fictional character created by Mike Schur and Greg Daniels for Parks and Recreation. I often find myself looking to Leslie Knope, and her determination to do the right thing and be there for the American people, as a guide because, at the end of the day, Leslie is the only one who never really gave up on Pawnee. Even when they wanted her to stop caring, she wouldn’t. Even when she was beaten down and recalled from City Council, she fought through it and did what she thought was best for her hometown."
