Alexandria Nicole Butler Republican

Texas House, District 146

About this race: South-west Houston. On the four passage roll calls on the two main 2025 bills — the Compassionate Use Program expansion and the hemp-THC ban — the incumbent was recorded absent for three and voted Nay on the fourth. A statement of vote was also filed, on an earlier amendment to the ban, and it is listed on the race page along with all fourteen record votes.

Whose record this page shows. The paragraph above is about the race, and part of it describes a different person. Everything after this line on this page is Alexandria Nicole Butler’s own record and nothing else — including, where it says so, the finding that no record was located. No cannabis record is listed on this page for Alexandria Nicole Butler, so where the paragraph above points at records, it is pointed at the race page and not at this one. Every record the paragraph above describes is set out candidate by candidate on the Texas House, District 146 race page.

Alexandria Nicole ButlerRepublican

No source of this candidate’s own is on this card. Everything below was published by someone else. So the absence of a cannabis position here is weaker evidence than it looks: it may mean only that this candidate has not published a platform anywhere we have found, or has published one somewhere we are not permitted to read.

No record compiled yet. Nothing on cannabis — no vote, bill, statement or endorsement — was found in any source we could read. 2 limits on that search are recorded with it.

What was checked for Alexandria Nicole Butler, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: the member-level rolls of every 2025 cannabis and hemp record vote in the official Texas House and Senate Journals — SB 3 and HB 46 in the regular session, SB 5 in the first called session and SB 6 in the second — including every Yea, Nay, present-not-voting, absent and statement-of-vote list, where this name does not appear because they hold no Texas legislative office; the author, joint-author, coauthor and sponsor tables of every cannabis, hemp, THC and Compassionate Use bill filed in the 87th, 88th and 89th Legislatures and the 2025 called sessions, at the Legislature's own bill-lookup service; and a press sweep including the Spectrum News report on the March 2026 Austin candidate forum on THC policy, which quotes six candidates by name and does not include them.

That site does name an Alexandria Butler, but it presents her as a candidate for Congress, while this candidate is on the ballot for Texas House District 146. The name matched and the office did not, so the page is not attributed to this candidate and nothing is concluded from it either way. The claim is withdrawn. The site publishes a sitemap listing 14 page(s), of which 8 were read, and none of them displays any mention of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️This card does not tell you whether this candidate held a seat in an earlier Legislature, but the question is now narrower. Read on 2026-10-15, from each chamber’s own journal: the roll of members-elect that the Texas House Journal prints, district by district, on the first day of every regular session from the 75th Legislature (1997) through the 89th (2025), and every senator the Texas Senate Journal names with a district on the first day of every regular session from the 76th (1999) through the 89th.

For the 89th those are journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/89r/pdf/89RDAY01FINAL.PDF and journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/89R/HTML/89RSJ01-14-F.HTM and every journal read is listed on this site’s corrections page. No one by this candidate’s name appears in any of them. That is narrower than a negative answer. Those rolls name the members seated as each session opened, and in most years the Senate’s names the senators who were not up for election by surname alone, so a member who sat only in earlier sessions, who arrived at a special election and was never named in full on a later first day, or who served under another name would not be found this way.

If this candidate is one of those, there may be a cannabis voting record this site is missing.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-10-05: this candidate’s Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Alexandria_Butler, including their Candidate Connection survey answers, which are published in full on that page. Neither the profile nor the survey answers contain cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.

⚠️Whether this candidate has a campaign site of their own is an open question here, and not a negative answer. This guide has not found one. It no longer claims to have looked in a way that could settle it, because the method this card used to cite was put to a case it was known to have passed and came back just as empty there. So if this candidate publishes a platform of their own, this guide may simply not have reached it, and the absence of a cannabis position below is weaker evidence than it looks.

A site at alexandriabutlercampaign.org was found and rejected for this card: its fifteen pages are a campaign for the U.S. House in District 9 — naming Houston, Missouri City, Stafford and parts of Fort Bend and Harris counties — and not for Texas House District 146, so it establishes nothing about this ballot line. Those fifteen pages carry no cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC or CBD either, but that is a fact about a congressional campaign and not about this one.

This card has been corrected. What earlier versions of it said, and what was wrong with them, is published in the corrections log.

No score: this candidate has no recorded vote or bill authorship on a cannabis measure. Silence is not a position, so nothing is inferred from it.

Campaign sites and voter guides checked for Alexandria Nicole Butler

Pages read in full:

  • www.houstonvotersguide.org/state-representative-rep/Alexandria-Butler — sections on the page: Qualifications; the two most pressing issues facing the office, with the candidate's own plans for them — the whole of the two-question set the League of Women Voters of Houston chapter put to this race, read in full by us on 2026-10-06. The page heads itself "State Representative, District 146 - Republican Candidate", so the candidate and the district are both confirmed on it. Neither question asks about cannabis, hemp or drug policy. ⚠️The entry records "No response recieved" [sic] in place of answers, so this records an unanswered questionnaire, not a position. This address no longer works. The page was there when we read it and the guide has since taken it down, and we did not keep a copy — so this is a record of what we read and not something you can check for yourself, which is weaker than every other source cited on this card. We have left the finding here rather than delete it, and left the address so you can see exactly what we are relying on. We checked the address again on 2026-10-17: it still answers HTTP 404.
  • votetheperson.org/candidates/alexandria-nicole-butler — sections on the page: Candidate; Your match; Record; Sources — the whole of the independent candidate tracker Vote the Person's page for this candidate, read in full by us on 2026-10-06. The page states the office or district we have on file, so the identification is confirmed, and it cites 5 source(s) of its own. Marijuana is one of the issues it tracks by name, and it lists Marijuana among the 32 issues on which it found no public position for this candidate. ⚠️That is a second organisation reporting an empty search, not a statement by the candidate.
  • communityimpact.com/heights-river-oaks-montrose/election/qa-meet-the-candidates-for-texas-house-district-146 — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-15, HTTP 200. Community Impact's candidate Q&A for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 146, published 2026-09-04. The page lists this candidate by name and prints “Candidate did not respond” against every question, so it carries no answers from them. The page contains no occurrence of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use.
  • onyourballot.vote411.org/race-detail.do?id=71558387 — sections on the page: Read 2026-10-17, HTTP 200. The League of Women Voters' VOTE411 voter guide page for the November 2026 general election in Texas House District 146. It names this candidate, and unlike the League of Women Voters of Houston page above, whose address no longer works, it is a page a reader can open: that chapter says on the candidate information page of its own guide that the answers it collects are published on Vote411.org as well as in its own guide. This is the League's four-question set for the general election, not the two-question primary set described above. It asks every candidate in the race about their qualifications for the office; access to affordable healthcare, including mental health services, for residents who are uninsured or underserved; state funding for public schools and accountability for taxpayer funds used in voucher or education savings account programs; and the two most pressing issues unique to the district. None of the four questions mentions cannabis, hemp or drug policy. ⚠️Against every one of the four questions the page prints that the candidate has not yet responded, so this records an unanswered questionnaire, not a position.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Texas Ethics Commission

Texas Ethics Commission filer 90404, filed as “Butler , Alexandria Nicole”, treasurer appointment for State Representative, District 146, dated 2025-12-02.

Why there are no figures and no industry breakdown here. Texas does not require a candidate to report a contributor’s employer or occupation — the Commission’s own 2026 guide asks for the amount, the contributor’s name and address, and the date, and that is all. So there is nothing in these filings to group into industries, and we have built no such grouping rather than imply one. Separately, the Commission’s bulk filing archive tells automated readers to stay out of it, and we honour that, so we have read no individual Texas contribution record. Treat the itemised question as unchecked by us, not as checked and found empty.

Read this filer’s own reports at the Texas Ethics Commission (ethics.state.tx.us) → — choose Transaction Type “Contributions”, then Search By “Filer ID” and enter 90404. The Commission’s search posts its results, so there is no direct link to one filer’s page; the number above is what makes it one step instead of a hunt.

Any grouping of contributors into an industry is weedvoter’s own classification, applied to employer and committee names exactly as filed. The Commission publishes employers and committees; it never publishes industries. OpenSecrets discontinued its public interface in April 2025, so nothing here is an OpenSecrets classification.

Money received is not a position. Everything on this card is money that changed hands. It is not evidence that any contribution influenced any decision, nothing on it is placed beside a roll call, and we make no claim about anyone’s motive. For what Alexandria Nicole Butler has actually done about cannabis, read the record above on this page — the roll calls, the bills that carry their name, and the date of each one, every entry linked to the document it came from. That is the part of this page built to be judged, and it is the part the score is calculated from. No contribution on this card moves that score by a cent.
