He was Parliamentary Assistant from 1985 to 1994.

Back in city politics

In the wake of the province-wide municipal merger of 2001, Maciocia gave up his seat and ran as a candidate of Gérald Tremblay's Montreal Island Citizens Union (French: Union des citoyens et des citoyennes de l'Île de Montréal or UCIM) in the district of Marc-Aurèle-Fortin. The party is now known as Union Montréal.

In 2005, he was elected as borough mayor for Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles-Montréal-Est, and retained his position as mayor of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles following the 2006 demerger of Montréal-Est.

Maciocia is a member of Montreal's executive committee.

He did not choose to run again in the 2009 Montreal municipal election, but his seat was retained for Union Montréal by Joe Magri.
