Prior to her election as an MP, Mumby-Croft was elected as a councillor for the Broughton and Appleby ward on North Lincolnshire Council in 2015, and was re-elected in May 2019 but subsequently stood down upon being elected to Parliament.[3]
Mumby-Croft stood in Scunthorpe at the 2017 general election, and came second. She stood again at the 2019 general election, and defeated the incumbent Labour MP Nic Dakin, winning with a 17.1% majority. This represented a 12.8% swing from Labour to Conservative.
In February 2020, Mumby-Croft praised plans to build a multi-million pound national flood training centre in Scunthorpe.[4] Mumby-Croft made her maiden speech on 6 March 2020, and talked about the town's steel industry. She also made a commitment to increased school funding and the upgrading of Scunthorpe General Hospital.[5]
In October 2020, Mumby-Croft was one of five Conservative MPs who broke the whip to vote for a Labour opposition day motion to extend the provision of free school meals during school holidays until Easter 2021.[6]
Mumby-Croft lost her seat in the 2024 general election to Labour MP Nic Dakin, who regained his seat from her after losing to her in 2019.
