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.
