In the 1985 District Board elections, he was elected to the Sham Shui Po District Board. In 1986, he co-founded the Hong Kong Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) with Fung and other pro-democracy grassroots activists.
In the 1995 Urban Council election, Tam won a seat in Sham Shui Po East uncontestedly. He held the seat through 1997 until the provisional council was abolished in 2000. In 1997, he was elected chairman of the Provisional Sham Shui Po District Council. His chairmanship ended in 2007 when the ADPL lost majority in the council.
