					<description><![CDATA[Andrew Gillum is staking claim to the broadest base of campaign donors. The Democratic gubernatorial candidate&#8217;s campaign is reporting Friday it has topped the 7,000 donor mark for $1.2 million in total contributions.

That means Gillum&#8217;s official campaign and his unofficial political committee Forward Florida brought in about $150,000 from roughly 1,400 donors in May. Gillum faces former Congresswoman Gwen Graham of Tallahassee&#8230;]]></description>
