They send people to jail, decide custody battles and much more in a 10-year-long job.

To make it even more confusing the four candidates cross file so that they appear on both the Democratic and Republican ballots in Tuesday's primary election. Here's who's who among the candidates: Endorsed by the Chester County …

A rematch between former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey is in the works as Sestak announced Tuesday that he's exploring a run for the Senate in 2016.
