[13] Crosbie was chosen after the former Brecon and Radnorshire MP Chris Davies, the previously selected candidate, withdrew the day before due to opposition by the local association, and other Welsh Conservatives.
[21][22] In July 2020, Crosbie apologised for errors on her Welsh language website, stating that the machine translation was "not 100% perfect".
[24] In 2020 she successfully campaigned to give Ynys Môn protected status in the UK Boundary Changes review.
An amendment put forward by Maria Miller MP brought Anglesey in line with other UK islands including the Isle of Wight and Orkney ensuring that it would not become a joint constituency with part of mainland Wales.

Since beginning her career as an MP, Crosbie has made the case for building new nuclear power stations in the UK.
[52] In the March 2024 budget the then Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt said of Crosbie "Ynys Môn has a vital role in delivering our nuclear ambitions and no one should take more credit for today’s announcement than my tireless, tenacious, turbo-charged hon friend for Ynys Môn" when he announced that the UK Government through Great British Nuclear would be purchasing the Wylfa site from Hitachi.

[88] Following the Welsh Government's announcement in 2023 that it was axing plans for a third bridge across the Menai Strait,[89] Crosbie started a campaign for a third Menai Crossing[90] citing Welsh Government evidence that not going ahead with the crossing would give "detrimental effects on the economy of the Isle of Anglesey and north west Wales".
