The owner of KLK Construction in Pella is set to begin her first term in the Iowa House. Barb Kniff McCulla was elected in November to represent Iowa House District 37 for the next two Iowa Legislative Sessions, the first of which starts Monday in Des Moines.

Kniff McCulla says she wants to be a voice for the residents of the region, and for businesses in particular, having served as on various organizations in Pella, the State of Iowa, and in the United States.

“Workforce is a piece that we can all get on board with, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican,” she says. “We’ve got to get more workers in the State of Iowa, and figure out what that looks like.”
