Registration records indicate that Butler lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with her mailing address the same as her residential.

Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed Butler on Sunday night. She will succeed the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who died at age 90 on Friday. Newsom had long promised that the next senator he appointed would be a black woman. In appointing Butler, he passed over Reps. Barbara Lee and other black lawmakers or leaders in the Golden State.
The Congressional Black Caucus sent a letter to Newsom on Sunday urging him to appoint Lee to Feinstein's seat. However, Newsom had said prior to Feinstein's death that he hoped to avoid weighing in on the race to replace Feinstein next year and would not select a 2024 Senate candidate to take her place.
