In the episode, <a href="/wiki/Leslie_Knope" title="Leslie Knope">Leslie Knope</a> (<a href="/wiki/Amy_Poehler" title="Amy Poehler">Amy Poehler</a>) faces trouble telling <a href="/wiki/Ben_Wyatt_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation)">Ben Wyatt</a> (<a href="/wiki/Adam_Scott_(actor)" title="Adam Scott (actor)">Adam Scott</a>) that she is running for public office, which will cause them to have to end their secret relationship. Meanwhile, Ron braces himself for the arrival of his first ex-wife, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Tammy_Swanson_(Tammy_I)" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">"Tammy I"</a>. </p><p>Written by <a href="/wiki/Dan_Goor" title="Dan Goor">Dan Goor</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Troy_Miller_(film_producer)" title="Troy Miller (film producer)">Troy Miller</a>, the episode marks the beginning of Leslie Knope's campaign for public office. During the episode, <a href="/wiki/Andy_Dwyer" title="Andy Dwyer">Andy Dwyer</a> (<a href="/wiki/Chris_Pratt" title="Chris Pratt">Chris Pratt</a>) is given a promotion and becomes Leslie's campaign assistant. The episode featured the first appearance by guest star <a href="/wiki/Patricia_Clarkson" title="Patricia Clarkson">Patricia Clarkson</a> as Ron's first ex-wife Tammy, who appeared in a multi-episode arc. </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">Nielsen Media Research</a>, "I'm Leslie Knope" was seen by 4.11 million households in the 18 to 49 age demographic.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It received generally positive reviews, with commentators highlighting the characteristic developments and the effectiveness of the plot involving Leslie's city council campaign. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=I%27m_Leslie_Knope&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Taking place later the same night as <a href="/wiki/Li%27l_Sebastian" title="Li'l Sebastian">last season's finale</a>, <a href="/wiki/Leslie_Knope" title="Leslie Knope">Leslie</a> tells <a href="/wiki/Ann_Perkins" title="Ann Perkins">Ann</a> that she was approached by William and Elizabeth, political scouts who recommended that she run for higher office. Leslie is conflicted about running due to her romantic relationship with <a href="/wiki/Ben_Wyatt_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation)">Ben</a>, which would cause a possible scandal since he is Assistant City Manager. Meanwhile, upon learning that his first ex-wife <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Tammy_Swanson_(Tammy_I)" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Tammy</a> has arrived in town, <a href="/wiki/Ron_Swanson" title="Ron Swanson">Ron</a> grabs an emergency survival bag and flees to live in the wilderness for 180 days. </p><p>Picking up three weeks later, an e-mail with a picture of a man's genitals is sent to all of the female employees. While <a href="/wiki/Chris_Traeger" title="Chris Traeger">Chris</a> and Ben investigate, Leslie is sent to do damage control by having a televised interview with reporter <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Perd_Hapley" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Perd Hapley</a>. The interview goes so well that the scouts decide to have Leslie announce her candidacy for city council that Friday, rather than their original plan of three months later. Leslie panics because she had been putting off ending things with Ben, and she panics further when Ben presents her with a gift during a dinner, causing her to also flee to the wilderness to hide out with Ron. <a href="/wiki/Tom_Haverford" title="Tom Haverford">Tom</a> visits the parks department with promotional material from his new job at Entertainment 720, where he works with <a href="/wiki/Jean-Ralphio_Saperstein" title="Jean-Ralphio Saperstein">Jean-Ralphio</a>, but not even he is sure what Entertainment 720 does. He offers <a href="/wiki/Andy_Dwyer" title="Andy Dwyer">Andy</a> a job, but Andy turns him down, unsure of where to go with his life. </p><p>Ann informs Chris that the genitals in the picture show symptoms of <a href="/wiki/Mumps" title="Mumps">mumps</a>. Chris and Ben discover that <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Joe_Fantringham" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Joe</a> from the sewage department sent the e-mail and fire him, and Chris announces Ann's discovery to everyone. This prompts male employees to e-mail Ann pictures of their genitals because they are worried that they caught the mumps from Joe, so Chris has <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Dr._Harris" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Dr. Harris</a> come in to perform tests on everyone. At Ron's cabin, Leslie and Ron both realize they cannot run away from their problems and return to the parks department. Ron tells everyone that Leslie is going to be running for city council and will need an assistant to help her with the extra work, so <a href="/wiki/April_Ludgate" title="April Ludgate">April</a> suggests Andy, who is hired. Leslie later meets with Ben to break up with him, but to her surprise, the gift she left unwrapped at dinner is a "Knope 2012" button; by seeing how Leslie was acting, Ben deduced that she was offered an opportunity to run for elected office, and the two break up amicably. She later announces her candidacy for city council. Tammy I—who is an <a href="/wiki/IRS" class="mw-redirect" title="IRS">IRS</a> agent—later meets up with Ron in his office and hands him audit papers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=I%27m_Leslie_Knope&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg/180px-Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="236" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg/270px-Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg/360px-Patricia_Clarkson_2011.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2320" data-file-height="3039" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Patricia_Clarkson" title="Patricia Clarkson">Patricia Clarkson</a> guest starred in this episode as <a href="/wiki/Ron_Swanson" title="Ron Swanson">Ron Swanson</a>'s ex-wife "Tammy I".</figcaption></figure> <p>"I'm Leslie Knope" was written by <a href="/wiki/Dan_Goor" title="Dan Goor">Dan Goor</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Troy_Miller_(film_producer)" title="Troy Miller (film producer)">Troy Miller</a>.

Antonia Raftu and Johnny Sneed appear as Leslie's campaign managers Elizabeth and William Barnes, respectively - they previously appeared at the end of the season 3 finale "Li'l Sebastian". </p><p>The episode featured the friendly breakup of Leslie and Ben to avoid a scandal during Leslie's campaign for city council. The characters had previously begun dating following much romantic buildup in the third season, but had to keep the relationship a secret due to Chris' strict policy against boss-employee relationships within the department. Series co-creator <a href="/wiki/Michael_Schur" title="Michael Schur">Michael Schur</a> commented on this in an interview, saying "...there's not just what is right for the characters, but what is right for the show and other considerations going into it. It's not just a perfect, delicate beautiful butterfly that's slowly unfolding its wings over the course of an entire season of TV." He likened the relationship to the <a href="/wiki/Jim_Halpert" title="Jim Halpert">Jim</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pam_Beesly" title="Pam Beesly">Pam</a> romance in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Office_(American_TV_series)" title="The Office (American TV series)">The Office</a></i>, stating that ignorance of the decision-making process behind the story would have likely reduced its enjoyment.
