He served as the MLA for Nanaimo from an 1889 by-election until his retirement at the 1890 provincial election. From 1892 to 1893, he was mayor of Nanaimo. He was chosen in an 1893 by-election to represent Vancouver in the House of Commons of Canada after the serving MP, David William Gordon died. Haslam was defeated in the 1896 general election.
