'''Thomas Gerard "Tom" Tancredo''' (born 1945) was a member of the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2008, and in 2010 was the [[American Constitution Party]] nominee for Governor of Colorado. He announced his intentions to run after he claimed the [[Republican]] candidate chosen by the GOP leadership in [[Washington, D.C.]] had no serious chance of winning the seat. That candidate, Dan Maes, polled in the single digits and garnered just over 11% of the vote. Tancredo served as a [[conservative]] Republican Congressman representing the suburbs of [[Denver]] and was outspoken against [[illegal immigration]].<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/03/29/DI2006032901468.html</ref> Often vilified by [[liberals]] and targeted for defeat, he was re-elected in 2006 in a landslide by a margin of 59%-40%. He announced his retirement from the House in hopes of winning the [[White House]], though he withdrew from the presidential race in December 2007. In 2011, he returned to the Republican Party.
