Joyce Brayboy will decide on the issues and electability.

The Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist, an at-large member of the Democratic National Committee, will be a superdelegate at the national convention.

For now, she's uncommitted to either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Brayboy, a public policy lobbyist with the Glover Park Group, served as chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Mel Watt for 14 years. She calls Charlotte home, although she currently works in D.C.

She said she will study both candidates' positions on health care and education, though she will also consider their electability before she makes a decision.

"This will be a learning process for me," she said.

Brayboy, who was appointed to the national committee by Howard Dean, has met both candidates over the years, but she says she's been hearing from them in recent weeks.
