Antwon B. Womack (born c. 1988) was a candidate for the Birmingham Board of Education, District 6 in the 2009 election.
Womack dropped out of Wenonah High School as a freshman in 2004. He previously ran for Mayor of Tarrant in 2008, but garnered only 4 votes.
In his 2009 Board of Education campaign (motto: "Education Does Matter") he claimed to be two years older than he was, to have graduated from West End High School, and to have a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Alabama A&M University. The Birmingham News detected the lies and discovered that his residence was in Fairfield. Womack subsequently dropped out of the race.
On his Facebook page, Womack gave himself the title of "Bishop". In an error-riddled essay supporting his application for a "Netroots Nation" scholarship, he called himself a "Doctor".
