He previously served in the senate from 2001 to 2003, and the house from 2005 to 2009. He was appointed to his current seat after his predecessor Doug Flament resigned.

Controversy

Butcher runs a website known as legislatorloyalty.com, which ranks members of the Montana Legislature by how they vote with or against the Montana Republican Party. He has made disparaging comments towards Native American legislators, receiving criticism from Native American Rep. Margarett Campbell.

“I won’t mention the other names that are room-temperature IQs, the reservation doesn’t necessarily always send their best and brightest.”
