It means to persist in raising an issue (i.e. trying to get it debated or resolved), even though others might be uninterested or evasive.

Sometimes, perhaps incorrectly, it can include the implementation:

the issue - "I want this project completed!"

I am pressing for its completion.

I am pressing the issue of the unfinished bedroom.
