He previously served in different appointed positions such as a chief of staff to Republican California State Senator Peter Behr from 1971–73, and as director of the California Office of Planning and Research under Democratic Governor Jerry Brown from 1975-79. On February 22, 1996, he resigned from the California Democratic Party and was succeeded by former Assembly member Arthur Torres.
Radio talk show
Since September 2005, Press has been hosting a daily liberal talk radio program, The Bill Press Show, which has been part of The Young Turks Network since 2016. It is heard on satellite radio, streamed live from the show's website, and available from the show's YouTube channel.
It was formerly broadcast on terrestrial radio affiliates in the United States live from 6-9 AM ET. Originally syndicated by Jones Radio, the radio show was syndicated by Dial Global until 2017. On March 5, 2012, the show was announced to be simulcast on Current TV alongside The Stephanie Miller Show as part of morning programming. As a result of Current TV becoming Al Jazeera America, The Bill Press Show moved to Free Speech TV, where it stayed until its move to The Young Turks Network in 2016. As part of the move to the Turks, terrestrial syndication of the program was dropped in January 2017 (except for WCPT-AM Chicago).
Religion
Press was steeped in Catholicism from an early age. He was an altar boy and took vows of obedience, poverty and chastity. He describes his young self as a "soldier in God's army".
