(KNZA)--A state commission has nominated three people to fill an upcoming vacancy on the Kansas Supreme Court.
A seat is opening because Justice Evelyn Wilson is retiring next month for health reasons.
The nominating commission submitted three candidates of which Governor Laura Kelly will choose one to replace Justice Wilson.
The candidates are Douglas County District Court Judge Amy Hanley; Johnson County District Court Judge Christopher Jayaram; and Leawood attorney Larkin Walsh.
It will be the Democratic governor- fourth appointment to the state's seven-justice Supreme Court.
22nd Judicial District Judge Laura Johnson-McNish, of Troy, was among 15 who applied to fill the upcoming vacancy and were interviewed this week by the nominating commission.
Johnson-McNish has served as a district judge in the 22nd Judicial District since 2023. The district includes Brown, Doniphan, Nemaha and Marshall Counties.
