(AP) – The Minnesota Supreme Court has its first female majority in three decades.
When they take their seats in the coming months, all seven justices will have been appointed by Democratic governors.
Governor Tim Walz elevated Minnesota Court of Appeals Judge Theodora Gaïtas to replace Associate Justice Margaret Chutich.
Seventh District Chief Judge Sarah Hennesy will replace Associate Justice G. Barry Anderson.
Both Chutich and Anderson announced their retirements in January.
Judicial appointees in Minnesota do not need confirmation, but Gaïtas and Hennesy will have to stand for election in 2026.
