Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... orthodontist, Pawnee city council member, and constant thorn in the side of Leslie Knope. Knope, a fellow city council member, just wants to open a park on an abandoned lot but Jamm would much rather see a Paunch Burger fast food restaurant there. After all, their sugar-filled child-sized sodas are 512 ounces and so they send him plenty of business.
Personality... obnoxious, grating, and self-centered. He likes to put people down and hit them with his signature catch phrase, “You just got Jammed.” While other city council members want to improve the town, Jamm exclusively uses his power for personal gain. He’s everything that’s wrong with American politics but if you ask him, he’d just call himself a “badass wild card.”

Ron, a staunch libertarian who believes government should do as little as possible. Leslie and her team work double-time to pick up the slack.
