During his military career, he was involved in the Alto Cenepa War between Ecuador and Perú.[1] In 2000 Paco Moncayo was elected Mayor of Metropolitan Quito on behalf of the Party of the Democratic Left, being re-elected for a second term in 2004.[1] As well as being Mayor of Metropolitan Quito he also was previously a National Deputy (1998–2000), and a member of both the National Security Council and its Consultative Assembly for Foreign Affairs. He also is co-president of United Cities and Local Governments as of November 2007 and is longlisted for the 2008 World Mayor award.

Between 2009 and 2013 Moncayo was a representative for Pichincha Province in the National Assembly under the Alianza Libertad.[2]
