Only five challengers have defeated incumbents for seats in Minnesota's district courts in the past 13 elections, but one Scott County attorney believes he can become the sixth.
The vacancies will occur upon the retirement of Judge Kris H. Davick-Halfen and the resignation of Judge Amber B. Gustafson. These seats will be chambered in St. Cloud in Stearns County and Moorhead in Clay County.
The chief judge in each judicial district is authorized to require face coverings in court facilities in the districts or counties designated as a “high” COVID-19 Community Level by the CDC.
