Sandra Xantall Cuevas Nieves (born 25 May 1986) is a Mexican politician and business owner. Born in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, she is a graduate in international commerce from the Universidad del Valle de México.[1][2]
Cuevas served as the mayor of the Mexico City borough of Cuauhtémoc from 1 October 2021 to 1 March 2024, representing the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in alliance with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the National Action Party (PAN).[2][1]
On 27 February 2024 the Congress of Mexico City granted her a leave of absence from her position as mayor to contend in the 2 June Senate election.[3] She competed in the election as the second name on the two-name formula presented by the Citizens' Movement party (MC) for Mexico City's seats in the national Senate, alongside Alejandra Barrales, also formerly of the PRD.[4][5] In that contest, however, MC placed a distant third behind the Sigamos Haciendo Historia and Fuerza y Corazón por México coalitions.[6]
