Walz announced the appointments of Theodora Gaïtas and Sarah Hennesy — both judges on lower courts — to replace retiring justices Margaret H. Chutich and G. Barry Anderson.

The appointments will again give the court a female majority. And all seven members will have been selected by DFL governors. Hennesy is set to replace Anderson, who will retire on May 10. Gaïtas will replace Chutich, who is set to retire at the end of July.
