Governor Rick Snyder will announce his pick to fill a vacant seat on the Michigan Supreme Court.
The spot has been open since Robert Young Jr. resigned to return to private law practice.
Republicans currently have a 5-2 majority on the Supreme Court.
Young’s successor will be able to seek election for a full eight-year term in 2018.
With this choice, Snyder will have appointed four of the justices on the seven-member court who have since won election.
One of his appointees, Joan Larsen, has been nominated by President Donald Trump for a federal appeals court judgeship.
So Snyder could have another spot to fill if Larsen wins Senate confirmation.
