RUN FOR SOMETHING: Michelle Netsai Butler for Denton County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 6

She has lived, worked, and built her family right here, raising two LISD students, her youngest at Hebron Valley Elementary and her oldest, a Hebron Hawk at Hebron High School. You can often find Michelle volunteering at band events or running the concession stand on Friday nights. Like so many Carrollton families, Michelle’s story is rooted in this community. She got her marriage license, filed her daughters’ birth certificates, and applied for her first passport at the Sandy Jacobs Government Center, the same building where the JP6 court sits today.

She knows these courts aren’t just places for rulings, they are where neighbors deserve understanding, fairness, and respect. Across the country, she has seen trust in institutions erode, and she is committed to restoring it where it matters most: at the level that touches people’s lives first, our community courts.

She has worked to elect leaders who support working families, women’s rights, fully funded public schools, livable wages, and affordable housing. She led organizers and programs for national campaigns including Elizabeth Warren for President, Joe Biden for President, and Kamala Harris for President, and she served as Texas State Director for Run for Something, helping young, committed candidates run for state and local office. Michelle has the experience to run a court efficiently, thoughtfully, and in service to the people.

As JP, Michelle will make the court a trusted resource, expanding access to justice, educating the community about the court process, and connecting residents with resources before challenges escalate in cases involving evictions, truancy, self representing litigants, or mental health. She is committed to ensuring everyone who comes before the court is treated with dignity and fairness while addressing the root causes that bring them there.
