Episode Summary

Leslie Knope faces a challenging city council campaign, trailing behind Bobby Newport. Her success is largely attributed to her campaign manager, Ben Wyatt. To win over the senior vote, Leslie pitches "Ramp Up Pawnee," aimed at improving wheelchair accessibility. Meanwhile, the Parks department, led by Ron Swanson, struggles with Leslie's potential absence and works on a water fountain hygiene project. Leslie's campaign faces a setback when Bobby Newport's skilled campaign manager, Jennifer Barkley, introduces a competing plan with electric lifts, endorsed by influential senior Ned Jones. Despite feeling outmaneuvered by Jennifer's tactics, Leslie and Ben continue to search for strategies to reclaim their position in the campaign.
