In the 2018 primary elections, Croft defeated incumbent Republican Patty Markley, 57.8% to 42.2%.[5] After the general election later that year, he was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives.
In 2020 he was re-elected to the Kansas House of Representatives for a second term.[6]
During the 2020, legislative session, Croft introduced legislation which would speed up and expand the process of granting occupational licenses to working professionals from other states. The legislation expedites the process of acquiring a Kansas occupational license if an individual holds an equivalent license in another state and seeks to continue their practice in Kansas. This was brought forth in effort to bring more jobs and fill current vacant positions available in Kansas.[7]
