Tanner was a member of the Hawke's Bay Provincial Council from 1867 to 1875.[2] He represented the Hawkes Bay electorate of Waipawa from 1887 to 1890, when he retired and William Cowper Smith was re-elected to the seat; Smith had held Waipawa until 1887, when he was elected for the new electorate of Woodville (which only existed from 1887 to 1890).[3] He contested the 1893 election in the Hawke's Bay electorate and of the three candidates, he came last.[4]
He died at Havelock North on 22 July 1918.[1]
