Are there any judicial elections coming up?

[question everything]

I was listening to the local news and there was an ad for someone to be judge. I did not watch, just heard it in the background.

1. Judicial elections are only in even-numbered years, so no.

Maybe someone is campaigning early?

5. I couldn't find any Minnesota local trial court elections for this year at that site.

They have a caption for trial court elections but when you go to the drop-down menu to search for them, there aren't any listed. Minnesota's judicial elections take place in even-numbered years. "Appointed judges must stand for election district-wide in the next general election that is more than one year after the swearing-in date (Minnesota Constitution Article VI, § 8). An elected judge’s term is six years." https://mn.gov/governor/administration/judicialappointments/#:~:text=An%20attorney%20may%20become%20a,judge's%20term%20is%20six%20years. General elections are always in even-numbered years.

6. Sorry about that. I had to leave the site

She was promoted as a judge but perhaps is running for a different office.

A popular and respected Minnesota judge was on vacation and out for a morning run Monday when she was struck by a vehicle and killed, her family told a Twin Cities media outlet.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the family of St. Louis County Circuit Court Judge Sally Tarnowski confirmed she died after being hit by a vehicle while jogging Monday morning on vacation in Venice, Florida.

Would it be an election to fill this vacancy?

[question everything]

8. How sad but I don't thin so if the event took place just today or yesterday

9. Those are ads for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race

Western Wisconsin get the the Twin Cities' stations so it's apparently worth their money to run ads in this market.

10. Thanks. This explains
