The seven Baltimore County high school graduates vying for seats on the state?s Democratic and Republican central committees said they will urge students across the nation to file in a Web-based candidacy drive.

The seven students, who earlier this month graduated from Franklin High School, filed to run for the relatively low-profile positions in honor of their friend Jesse Elkins, who died May 12 in a car crash while driving two buddies home from an Orioles game. Elkins, an skateboarder and rock climber who aspired to become a lawyer, had registered to run for the Democratic Central Committee just days before the accident.
