From August 2012 to July 2019, Mancía served as a communications technical specialist for the National Medication Directorate. From 8 August 2019 to 15 August 2020, he served as the chief of promotion, advertising, and communications for the government of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.

Deputy of the Legislative Assembly

Mancía ran as a candidate for deputy to the Legislative Assembly from the department of Chalatenango during the 2021 legislative election. He ran as a candidate from Nuevas Ideas and was the party's second candidate in Chalatenango, after Francisco Alexander Guardado Deras.[7] During his campaign, Mancía criticized the political opposition in the Legislative Assembly for its reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and for blocking Bukele's political agenda within the legislature. He also claimed that the incumbent deputies from Chalatenango "have never represented the department and have never carried out actions which really benefited the department's population" ("Spanish; Castilian: nunca han representado al departamento y jamás han realizado acciones que beneficien realmente a la población de la localidad").[8] Mancía was elected as a deputy on election day with 14,059 marks. He was the third of three proprietary deputies elected,[9] and Krissa Osiris Marín Jiménez was elected as Mancía's supplement deputy.[10]

Mancía is a permanent member of the agriculture commission[11] and the public works, transportation, and housing commission, on which he holds the position of orator;[12] Mancía was also a member of an ad hoc commission to study and draft the Water Resources Law in June 2021.[13] Regarding the law, he stated that its objective was to guarantee that every community in El Salvador had access to drinking water.[14] In April 2022, the Legislative Assembly approved a bill which was proposed by Mancía which increased penalties for individuals who steal livestock.[15] Mancía supports the expansion of Uber or public transportation methods similar to Uber within El Salvador,[16] stating in January 2023 that its expansion "is necessary" ("Spanish; Castilian: es necesario") for the "modernization" ("Spanish; Castilian: modernización") of the country's public transportation system.[17] On 13 June 2023, Mancía voted to reduce the number of municipalities in El Salvador from 262 to 44. Before the law was approved, he proposed an amendment to the bill—which had been proposed by Bukele on 1 June—to reassign the district of San Fernando from Chalatenango Norte to Chalatenango Centro. Although he did not give a reason for the amendment, it was approved regardless.[18]

During Nuevas Ideas' July 2023 primary elections ahead of the 2024 general election, Mancía was elected as the party's first of two candidates for Chalatenango's two seats in the Legislative Assembly with 910 votes. Hugo Dagoberto Mata Portillo was elected as Mancía's supplement deputy.[19] On 13 February 2024, after vote counting for the legislative election had been delayed by the Supreme Electoral Court due to technical issues,[20] the TSE announced that Mancía had won one of Chalatenango's legislative seats and the National Coalition Party's Reynaldo Cardoza won the second seat;[21] Mancía won 19,282 marks.[22] Mancía is the orator of the health, agriculture, and environment commission.[23]

Personal life

Mancía is married. In May 2022, he and his wife took out a US$111,000 loan from the Mortgage Bank to purchase a plot of land in San Salvador.[24]
