Leslie Knope was confident, ambitious, and totally not afraid to call out the silly questions women in politics are always asked. We’re going to miss her. And tonight, we’ll be cheering for Amy Poehler to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series!

We love this LA Times article about how pop culture is influencing our elections–almost as much as we love Leslie Knope. Hopefully, strong female characters in politics and other roles will inspire more women to run for office!
