In 2004, Pong ran for legislative council election for the functional constituency on health services sector, but she lost.
In 2007, Pong took part in district council election in Sha Tin District (Fo Tan), and she won over Richard Tsoi, a Hong Kong democrat.
In 2008, Pong acted as an independent candidate to ran for legislative council election for the geographical constituency (New Territories East). She surrendered her Canadian citizenship to do so. But she was criticized by her pan-democracy camp candidates for minimizing her close relation with pro-Beijing authorities.

She had similar number of votes with another defeated candidate, James Tien, although it was the first time that she had run for geographical constituency election.
