Santiago Creel Miranda (Spanish pronunciation: [sanˈtjaɣo kɾil miˈɾanda]; born on 11 December 1954) is a Mexican senator representing the centre-right National Action Party who served as Secretary of the Interior in the cabinet of President Vicente Fox.
His campaign describes his background as that of a lawyer, father, and husband, as well as of a Party loyalist. Descendant of the Creel-Terrazas family, son of René Creel Luján, one of the founders of the National Action Party, Santiago Creel has extensive connections within the PAN. In 2008 he admitted that he is the father of actress Edith González's daughter, Constanza.
Creel received a bachelor's degree in Law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and subsequently did graduate work at Georgetown University and earned a master's degree at the University of Michigan.
His career highlights include running for Head of Government of the Federal District in 2000 (a race he narrowly lost to Andrés Manuel López Obrador). He was later appointed to the cabinet by President Vicente Fox to serve as Secretary of the Interior, a position he held from December 2000 to June 2005.
