Childers, Davis work to rebuild campaign war chests

Childers, Davis work to rebuild campaign war chests

Childers may have outpolled Davis in the April 1 party runoffs – Childers at 20,729 to Davis’ 16,830, in separate primaries – but Davis still had a substantial lead in campaign money, federal reports show.

Up to the runoff, Federal Election Commission financial reports showed:

– Childers, the Prentiss County chancery clerk, had less than $10,000 cash on hand.

– Davis, the mayor of Southaven, had about $44,000 cash on hand.

Financial reports for Pang and Wages are yet to be filed with the FEC.

Campaign totals can’t be assessed just by the numbers.

– Davis spent $359,587 or $10.93 per vote.

– Childers spent $196,373 or $3.34.
