A by-election was held for Val-de-Marne's 9th constituency in September 2020 because the deputy, Luc Carvounas was ineligible due to cumulation of mandates when he was re-elected Mayor of Alfortville, and his substitute, Sarah Taillebois, was ineligible due to appointment to the École nationale d'administration. Santiago was elected on 27 September 2020.[3] She joined the socialist and associated group.[4]

In parliament, Santiago has since been serving on the Defence Committee. In addition to her committee assignments, she was part of the French Parliamentary Friendship Groups with Japan, Algeria and Armenia.[5]
