He shares his past as the mayor of Partridge, and that he became a state auditor to prove he can be responsible and eventually run for office again. However, when he asks her out for a beer, they begin to show respect for one another. When Ben comes to Pawnee, he immediately clashes with Leslie, who is appalled by his unsentimental attitude towards firing people and his penchant for slashing her department's budget. Initially dejected that he didn't copyright it, his former boss, Barney Varmn, surprises him with the copyright papers. During a period of joblessness in season six, he creates a game called The Cones of Dunshire which becomes wildly popular, a fact that he realizes while visiting San Francisco. Ben is shown to have a hard time socializing, and connecting with people by having work as his main focus. His love for calzones is also a recurring joke in the series. Ben is often teased by Tom (and, early on, Leslie as well) for his affinity for, references to and vast knowledge in Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Game of Thrones and other things considered to be "nerdy".

Ben attended Carleton College, where he was the host and DJ for a swing music college radio show called Zoot Suit Wyatt, a reference to the swing song " Zoot Suit Riot" (1997). He was then impeached after two months in office. When he was 18, he ran for mayor and won on the strength of, in his words, "anti-establishment voter rebellion." However, being so inexperienced, he quickly ran the town's finances into the ground mainly due to the construction of a winter sports complex called "Ice Town", which was never completed. In the season finale, it is implied that either he or Leslie eventually became the President of the United States Leslie taking office would make him the First Gentleman.īen is from Partridge, Minnesota.
