Lantz Womack Politician

Lantz Womack (January 11, 1914 – May 23, 1998) was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives who served mostly Franklin Parish, from 1958, when he won a special election caused by the death of a freshman member, until his retirement in 1976. A banker and farmer from Winnsboro, south of Monroe, he was also a delegate to the 1973 convention which wrote the Louisiana Constitution of 1974. From 1968-1972, Womack and S. S. DeWitt of Tensas Parish were paired in a combined District 47 (Franklin, Tensas, and Madison parishes). For his last term, Womack was placed in single-member District 20, having defeated several intraparty rivals, including DeWitt and James H. "Jimbo" Colvin of Winnsboro.
