Russell G. Mobley, known as Russ Mobley (born November 18, 1933), is a politician and educator based in Kentucky, where he retired as an associate professor of theatre arts.
Elected to political office in 2000, he served as a Republican member of the Kentucky House of Representatives (2001 to 2009) from District 51 (Taylor and Adair counties) in the south central portion of the state.
Mobley holds Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Kentucky in Lexington. He served in the United States Air Force from 1951 to 1955.
Mobley was an associate professor of theatre arts at Campbellsville University in Campbellsville, the seat and largest community of Taylor County. It is about 83 miles southwest of Lexington. Until 2014, the university was affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
Mobley taught there from 1971 until his retirement in 2005, directing more than 100 student plays and musicals. His first production was the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He also produced a 1987 adaptation of the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
Mobley was long interested in politics. In the mid-1970s, he made an unsuccessful race for the United States House of Representatives from Kentucky's 6th Congressional District, based in Lexington. In 1981, he ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for the District 16 seat in the Kentucky State Senate. He was defeated by the incumbent Doug Moseley, a United Methodist minister.
