Political columnist Sam Hanna, Jr., of ''The Ouachita Citizen'' in West Monroe (founded by Hanna's father, [[Sam Hanna|Sam Hanna, Sr.]]), tapped Britt as a potential candidate for the Louisiana House of Representatives for the District 21 seat being vacated by the term-limited Democrat, Andy Anders of Concordia Parish.<ref>Sam Hanna, Jr., "Who Wants to Serve?", ''The Colfax Chronicle,'' January 31, 2019, p. 4.</ref> However, Britt did not file qualifying papers to make the race. Two Democrats and two Independents contested the seat in the primary election on October 12, 2019. Democratic candidate Jane Netterville, a former Tensas Parish police juror from St. Joseph, finished last in the four-candidate field with 11 percent of the ballots cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/candidateinquiry|title=Candidate Inquiry|publisher=Louisiana Secretary of State|accessdate=August 9, 2019}}</ref> The top two vote getters in the primary, Democrat C. Travis Johnson, with 5,768 votes (44 percent), and Glen B. McGlothin, Jr., an [[Independent]] who polled  3,018 votes (23 percent), advance to the November 16 runoff election. A second Independent candidate, Clint Vargas, drew 2,815 votes (22 percent). The two Democrats hence outpolled the two Independents in the primary, 55 to 45 percent. No Republican filed candidacy papers in the heavily Democratic district.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Statistics, October 12, 2019.</ref>
