As the presidential election heats up, I think it's safe to say there's tons of controversy surrounding all of the candidates. While you're trying to decide who to vote (or not to vote) for, I've composed a list of some fictional characters I believe would make great presidential candidates.

Leslie Knope - Parks and Recreation

As the Deputy Director of the Pawnee City Department of Parks and Recreation, she worked hard to improve her beloved hometown. She is a natural born leader and eventually left the Parks and Recreation Department to become a city council woman. Leslie’s ultimate goal is to become the first female President of the United States. She loves America almost as much as she loves Joe Biden.

Jim Halpert - The Office

Jim’s planning of elaborate pranks shows his ability to think on his feet. During his time at Dunder Mifflin, he always had something in store for Dwight. He worked as a sales associate and quickly rose through the ranks and became Assistant Regional Manager.

Callie Adams Foster - The Fosters

When it comes to fighting for what’s right, Callie is always the first to do so. Anytime she sees actions she doesn’t agree with, she is always there to defend whomever is being wronged. As a former foster child herself, Callie has dedicated much of her young life to educating people about the foster system and improving it.

Marshall Eriksen - How I Met Your Mother

Marshall is extremely kind and compassionate. He started as a corporate lawyer but eventually quits his job in order to pursue a career in environmental law. He seeks to make the world a better place.

Miranda Bailey - Grey's Anatomy

As a general surgeon, Miranda has seen it all. She knows how to remain calm and act quickly in hectic situations. She’s extremely tough but knows how to guide her peers to get the best outcome possible.

Brooke Davis - One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill’s Brooke Davis is a natural born leader. In high school, she served as student body president and cheerleading captain. At a young age, she started her own clothing line, “Clothes Over Bro’s” and established herself as a successful fashion designer and business owner

Sandy Cohen - The O.C.

Sandy fights for the people. He worked as a public defender and took on some very difficult cases. He is a very caring man and even ends up taking some of his work home with him and becomes the legal guardian of Ryan Atwood. Sandy guides Ryan and his own biological son Seth through life by giving them fatherly and legal advice. In later years, Sandy left his job as a public defender to become a professor of law.

Hershel Greene - The Walking Dead

In a world ridden with zombies, it can be difficult to think straight. Even in stressful situations, Hershel always manages to lead the group to safety and make smart decisions.

Monica Geller - Friends

Monica is the mother of her group. She is constantly looking out for them and making sure they’re making good choices. Her obsessive cleanliness and organizational skills prove that she would have no trouble running the country and keeping everything orderly.

Schmidt - New Girl

Schmidt is a natural people pleaser. He has a desire to be liked by everyone. He even (almost) successfully pretended to be a Romney in order to win a woman’s approval.

Brick Heck - The Middle

Even though he’s the youngest on this list, Brick is probably one of the smartest. He has been doing his older brother’s homework since he learned to read, showing he is wise beyond his years. He’s read thousands of books and has an impeccable memory which allows him to always remember what he reads.
