As a longtime community activist, Tsao was appointed as Toronto city councillor. He was a resident of Ward 33 at the time of his appointment.[3] He represented Don Valley East, which was vacant as a result of the resignation of the incumbent councillor Shelley Carroll in April 2018 and served until the municipal election in October 2018[4][5] when he did not seek re-election.[6][7]

He is a former senior political advisor in the Ontario provincial government.[5] He currently serves as a director of the Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care[8] and on the board of management for the Toronto Zoo.[9]

In October 2020, Tsao was selected as the Ontario Liberal Party's candidate for Don Valley North for the 43rd Ontario general election.[10]
