April 2018: Davis campaign passes $1 million raised

What the filings showed

The April quarterly report, filed April 15, 2018, showed $340,822.22 raised from January through March and $668,906.43 in cash on hand. Added to the two earlier reports ($408,649.58 and $331,807.65), the campaign's receipts through March 31 came to about $1,081,000. The Sunflower State Journal reported the total as about $1.1 million and said Davis's fundraising far surpassed that of the six Republicans then running.

The figure of 4,394 contributors in this address comes from the campaign. FEC reports itemize only donors who give more than $200, so the count can't be checked from them directly.

What came next

The same Sunflower State Journal story reported that a Republican super PAC was preparing to spend heavily against Davis in the fall. By late October, Ballotpedia counted $3.9 million from the Congressional Leadership Fund in the race, most of it against Davis.

How it turned out

Davis finished the cycle with $3,985,403 in receipts. He lost to Steve Watkins by 2,239 votes.
