Among the more prominent members of the Bordaberry family, Santiago is seen as indentifying more closely with the religious outlook of his father, Juan María Bordaberry, himself a very religious individual, as well as his strong association with rural affairs.
His brother Pedro Bordaberry is a former Tourism Minister, and prominent member of the Uruguayan Colorado Party.
His grandfather, Colorado Party Senator Domingo Bordaberry, was also strongly identified with Ruralist leadership.
