What the filing showed
The committee's year-end 2017 report, filed January 31, 2018, covered October 1 through December 31, 2017. It listed $331,807.65 in receipts, in line with the "over $330,000" in the release's address, and $506,469.78 in cash on hand at year's end. (An amended copy filed in April 2018 left receipts unchanged and adjusted cash on hand by about $70.)
Together with the third-quarter report, that put Davis at about $740,000 raised in his first four and a half months.
Context
The federal tax bill passed Congress that December, and the campaign's site from that month, judging by its archived addresses, focused heavily on it, calling it a "Brownback-style" plan. On the Republican side the field was still crowded; the eventual nominee, Steve Watkins, did not appear in the December 2017 coverage of the field.
How it turned out
Davis reported another $340,822 in the first quarter of 2018, passing $1 million raised in total. See the April 2018 note.
