Choy joined the Provisional Legislative Council in 1997, replacing Maria Tam upon the Handover from British to Chinese rule and went on to sit in subsequent Legislative Councils until 2008, representing the Hong Kong Island geographical constituency. She was a member of the (pro-business, pro-Beijing) Hong Kong Progressive Alliance, but ran (and won) for the DAB for the 2000 Legislative Council Election, as part of a joint election strategy by the two parties, made possible through the agreement of the influential Fujian community leaders in the district, who are loyal to her. Her former party anyway merged into the DAB in 2005.
Her Legislative Council positions included chairman of the Panel on Environmental Affairs, chairman of the Panel on Home Affairs, and member of the Panel on Development.
In the 2008 Legco election, Choy was placed second to Jasper Tsang on the DAB list for the Hong Kong Island constituency. Choy's loss of her seat was reportedly because the party's vote was split with Regina Ip, who was the candidate endorsed by the DAB in the 2007 Hong Kong Island by-election.
Since 2000, she has been a member of Eastern District Council, representing Kam Ping constituency. In the 2003 election, she almost lost out to Leung Kwok-hung ("Long Hair"), as part of the fallout from widespread public dissatisfaction with incumbent pro-government representatives across the board, while in the 2007 election she successfully saw off a challenge by fellow government supporter and Fujian elder Charles Chiang Yu-tui, winning 75 percent of the vote. In other elections for the seat, she has been unopposed. She stepped down in 2019, and her successor was defeated in 2019 by the candidate from the Civil Party.
In 2008, Choy was appointed a Hong Kong Deputy of the National People’s Congress and is therefore an ex officio member of the Election Committee.
Other public positions held by Choy, currently or previously, include: member of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, member of the Appeal Panel of the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong and director of Fujian Middle School.
