He was elected Mayor of Due West in 1997, where he served for 10 years.

During the years a street-scape to beautify the area was completed, a new Dollar General Store and Subway moved into town; The Commercial Bank and the Due West Fire Department moved into new buildings. The fire department was named The Butch Sain Complex. Butch was a member of Abbeville First Baptist Church; he lived his life serving God and making others around him happy. During his lifetime he served as Youth Sunday School teacher, a deacon, and the Superintendent of Sunday Schools. He was a charter member of the Due West Lion's Club where he served as president 2002-2003.
