Sandra Julieta Torres Casanova (locally ['sandɾa xu'ljeta 'tores kasa'noβa]; born 5 October 1955) is a Guatemalan politician who served as the first lady of Guatemala from 2008 to 2011, as the wife of president Álvaro Colom.

[3] She has spent most of her professional lifetime promoting politics, plans, programs, projects and laws concerning social development, especially of women, children and people with special needs.

The group employs programs and projects focused on improving the coverage and quality of education, healthcare, infrastructure, sustainability and national reconstruction (specifically pertaining to the disasters Hurricane Stan, landslides in La Unión, Zacapa, and Storm 16).

During the 2008 presidential term of her husband Álvaro Colom, she had a proactive role in many social programs, creating a platform for the distribution of government aid to the poor.

This time she finished second in the first round of the election on 6 September, narrowly beating the third-placed Manuel Baldizón, and qualifying for the runoff against first-placed Jimmy Morales.

Torres says she would provide "comprehensive solutions like development, fight against poverty and job opportunities" to try to convince Guatemalans to stay in the country rather than migrating to the United States.
