He was a Bellevue city councilman for several years and a Kentucky state representative for 25 years. While in the state legislature, he acted as house majority caucus chairman for 14 years and served on many committees. He was an avid supporter for all of his constituents and introduced over 100 bills. He was an instrumental part of the committee to develop Northern Kentucky State College in 1968, now known as NKU. He was also a member of the Bellevue Vets and VFW Post 2899 in Dayton, KY. In his free time, Bill volunteered for many local charities, including St. Vincent De Paul, church committees, and city committees. He loved to volunteer his time and give back to his community.
