Matthew Santos

Matthew Santos was the President of the United States in West Wing. He was in office from 2007 to 2015. He was elected in 2006, and was the first Hispanic American to serve in that position. In the 2006 election he ran against Republican nominee Arnold Vinick whom he later would choose as Secretary of State. Before becoming President he was a representative for Texas between 2001 and 2007.

In 2005, Bartlet's Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman conceived the idea of a Santos presidential campaign. He believed that Congressman Santos would be a better candidate than incumbent Vice President Bob Russell or former VP John Hoynes. While initially hesitant, Matt Santos decided to make his run for office on the condition that Lyman would run his campaign.

After a close race that included his VP pick Leo McGarry's death on Election Day, Santos won the election by a margin of 10,000 votes, and a 272-266 edge in the Electoral College.
