Bobby Newport is a member of Pawnee's infamous Newport Family. He is the heir to the Sweetums fortune. Bobby enters the city council election, running against Leslie Knope, in the hopes of getting his father off his back. He is childlike, whining to Leslie and asking her to just give him the election. Bobby is also spoiled, receiving a yacht when he was twelve years old. During his campaign, he gives out Bobby Bars, exclaiming "my dad made 'em!"
