Antwon Womack, candidate for District 6 on the Birmingham Board of Education, said at a news conference Tuesday that he will not drop out of the race after The Birmingham News reported that he lied about much of his resume while campaigning."My campaign is not based on a foundation of lies," Womack said Tuesday. "My values are not lies. It's just the information I provided to the people is false."Womack admitted again Tuesday that he lied on both his campaign Web site and his Facebook page, which he also uses to campaign, by claiming he was 23 years old, graduated from West End High School in 2005 and received a bachelor's degree in elementary education from Alabama A&M in 2009. On a Web site for "Democracy For America," Womack refers to himself as "Dr. Antwon B. Womack" in his application for a Netroots Nation Scholarship. In the application, Womack states he has been campaign chairman for more than three campaigns in the last two years, but doesn't say which ones. He also said in the application that if he doesn't win the Board of Education election, he sees himself running for state Senate. http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/metro.ssf?/base/news/1250669741264760.xml&coll=2
