In Washington, Craig was one of the most senior staffers in the areas of national defense, military readiness, national security infrastructure, border security, trade, and fiscal accountability. His work included strategic coordination with key federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State, as well as national political stakeholders including the White House, NRSC, and Senate and House leadership.

Craig also led high-level Republican strategy in the Senate, helping shape conference policy and messaging while overseeing Senator Scott's term as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (2021-2023). Most notably, Senator Scott was named one of the Most Effective Senators by the Center for Effective Lawmaking (2025) and received national recognition for best-in-class constituent services from the Congressional Management Foundation (2022), during Craig's leadership.

Before serving in the Senate, Craig was a top advisor for Rick Scott's historic U.S. Senate victory, successfully helping the team navigate a full statewide machine and hand recount. CNN named it the "Best Campaign of 2018" after defeating long-time incumbent Bill Nelson in one of the closest U.S. Senate races in Florida history.

Prior to that race, Craig was a senior official on Governor Rick Scott's successful 2014 re-election campaign, and he served in key policy and budget roles in Florida's Executive Branch, overseeing thousands of gubernatorial appointments across critical sectors including education, environment, commerce, and transportation.
