Bob Mueller is running for another term on Crescent Springs City Council.
A lifelong Northern Kentucky resident, Mueller has lived in Crescent Springs for more than 40 years. He spent over 26 years working at Procter & Gamble, holding management positions in finance, accounting, human resources and global purchasing. He is also a licensed Realtor and former law enforcement officer.
Mueller graduated from Covington Latin School and earned a bachelor’s degree from Northern Kentucky University and a Master of Business Administration from Xavier University.
Mueller previously served on city council in the 2000s and 2010s before returning in August 2024, when council appointed him to fill a vacant seat. He went on to win election that November.
“It is one of the most rewarding activities I’ve engaged in, and a responsibility I look forward to undertaking again,” Mueller told LINK nky. “At the risk of sounding cliché, I truly do just want to offer what have to serve the City, and work to give my fellow residents and business owners confidence in how our city is managed.”
During his time in city government, Mueller has served on committees dealing with finance, economic development, human resources and long-range planning. He also helped oversee the city’s request for proposals for police services and worked on establishing a tax increment financing district and economic development plan.
Heading into the election, Mueller said Crescent Springs faces difficult financial decisions as the cost of police, fire and emergency medical services continues to rise. He believes the city needs to find additional revenue without relying solely on higher taxes. One approach, he said, would be to attract businesses to vacant commercial properties and encourage redevelopment of underused land.
Traffic is another concern, particularly along Buttermilk Pike and other roads affected by residential development in Crescent Springs and Villa Hills. Mueller supports working with state and county officials to improve traffic signals, intersections and road connectivity.
