Julie A. Butler

Julie A. Butler, a Republican, is seeking election to the Nevada State Assembly, District 40, in 2026. A Carson City resident for nearly 30 years, Butler’s background includes extensive public service and safety leadership, notably as director of the DMV for five years until March 2024. Her campaign prioritizes strengthening Nevada’s economy by reducing regulations and taxes, improving government efficiency through cybersecurity and supporting first responders, and addressing "kitchen table issues." She advocates for robust teacher funding, healthcare licensure reciprocity (e.g., Nurse Licensure Compact), and dedicated veteran support. Butler aims to bring her proven problem-solving experience to the Legislature to benefit district families and small businesses.
