CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Colorado Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo plans to add his name Tuesday to the list of candidates in New Hampshire's yet-to-be-scheduled presidential primary.

Monday, two ex-convicts signed up, one an American fugitive from Rome, became the first to sign up on the opening day of the three-week filing period.

Jack Shepard, a Republican who has run for Senate and Congress in Minnesota, listed Saint Paul as his permanent address, with a temporary home in Rome. Authorities have said he was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1979 and became a fugitive after failing to comply with the terms of his parole.

Robert Haines, a long-shot Republican candidate, served time in the New Hampshire state prison for pulling a gun on a man while campaigning in the 1996 primary.

Does this mean he needs to give up his seat in Congress?

No. He will only have to do that when it comes time to file in Colorado.

Only at that point does he have to choose which office he wants to run for.
