My Civilian Chain of Command

When I was in the military, it was drummed into us that we had a Chain of Command. Now, as a Civilian, I see my chain of command as in this table.


LevelPosition/OfficeName
City CouncilDistrict 5 Council MemberBob Knudsen
MayorMayor of TaylorsvilleKristie S. Overson
State HouseUtah Rep., District 36James A. Dunnigan
State SenateUtah Senator, District 16Wayne A. Harper
GovernorGovernor of UtahSpencer J. Cox
U.S. RepresentativeUtah’s 4th Congressional DistrictBurgess Owens
U.S. SenatorsUnited States Senators (Utah)Mike Lee, John Curtis
PresidentPresident of the United StatesDonald J. Trump

This table represents my Elected Leaders. If the State of Affairs is not pleasing to me, I have these choices:

1. Convince my leaders to change the State of Affairs to my liking. Since "All Politics is Local," I should start at the bottom of the ladder and work my way up.

2. Convince the constituents of these leaders to support my position. This is done with the Power of the Pen, the Power of Free Speech, and donations to organizations that support my position.

Otherwise, if I don't follow these choices, I have little hope of changing anything more than a diaper.
