Newberry, Florida: Limited Government, Local Leadership, and the Fight Against Globalism

What happens when a city commissioner runs on a John Birch Society platform, strips out the social programs, focuses on what government is actually supposed to do, and gets reelected repeatedly? You get Newberry, Florida, a city of nearly 10,000 people growing at 5 to 7% a year.

Tim Marden, director of development for the John Birch Society and mayor of Newberry, Florida, joins Sam Bushman and Sheriff Richard Mack on Liberty RoundTable Live to talk about how his city became a real-world test case for constitutional, limited government. They cover what it takes to run for local office, the globalist threat eroding the American middle class, a candid grade for President Trump, and the upcoming 2026 JBS Conference in Salt Lake City.

If you believe the answer to fixing America starts at the local level, this episode is for you.
