Are there any judicial elections coming up?

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.

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.

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?
