All about Andrew Gillum’s wife, R. Jai Gillum and kids
R. Jai Gillum (born as Rashada Jai Howard) is a public affairs professional and advocate, who is best known as the better half of former Tallahassee Mayor and Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Andrew Gillum. Beyond her association with Andrew, she has established herself in her own right.
