Florida Democrats have confirmed that state Sen. Arthenia Joyner, a Tampa Democrat and civil rights activist, will be making the case Saturday on behalf to the Clinton campaign to the DNC’s rules and bylaws panel.

Joyner, an attorney, is vice-chair of the Florida Senate Judiciary Committee and a long-time Clinton backer.

Word of her role in Saturday’s meeting came during an appearance on MSNBC by Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe.

“We are actually ceding our time to a state senator from Tampa,” said McAuliffe, though he did not mention Joyner by name. State Democrats later confirmed she was the senator he meant.
