swayer
One who persuades
A swayer is someone or something that sways—moving back and forth, or influencing opinion.
The word appears most often for things that swing or rock rhythmically: The dancers were gentle swayers, lost in the music.
Applied to persuasion, a swayer moves people toward a position: She was a swayer of votes on the committee.
