Britt was a delegate to the North Carolina State Democratic convention in 1980.[2] In 1982, he was elected to Congress [2] from a Greensboro-based district, defeating one-term RepublicanEugene Johnston. He was narrowly defeated [2] for reelection in 1984 by State RepresentativeHoward Coble, largely due to Ronald Reagan's victory that year; Reagan carried the district by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.
Britt sought a rematch against Coble in 1986, and lost by only 79 votes.
Britt attempted a comeback in 2002[2] in the newly drawn 13th district, which contained parts of Greensboro. However, Britt was defeated in the Democratic primary by Brad Miller of Raleigh.
