Meet Kendall Qualls
Kendall Qualls is a results-oriented leader that strives to unite Americans regardless of background toward a shared history and common set of beliefs. He began life in dire poverty in the projects of Harlem, NY, and later moved to a trailer park in rural Oklahoma. Despite these challenges, Kendall worked his way through college by delivering pizzas and went on to become an officer in the U.S. Army, earn three graduate degrees, and became Global Vice President of a Fortune 100 healthcare company.
He works to keep the promise of America available to everyone.
The Prodigal Project
Racial strife, violent crime, and a growing divide influence our culture and what it truly means to be an American today. Recounting his time growing up in poverty in NYC and a trailer park in Oklahoma, to becoming a U.S. Army officer, and eventually running for governor, Kendall Qualls’ story demonstrates that the promise of America is available to anyone, regardless of race or social station. With personal and revealing stories, Qualls demonstrates that anyone with a disadvantaged past can take responsibility for their life, their family, and their community.
The Prodigal Project addresses uncomfortable topics such as the crisis of fatherless homes, and the silence of the church in addressing this problem as the main source of disparities in the United States. It also tackles the threat of the progressive movement’s Cancel Culture, Black Lives Matter, and the increasingly progressive public-school system—all of which have taken a stance against the traditional nuclear family, religious faith, and the foundational beliefs of America.
Kendall Qualls invites those ready to reclaim their life, family and community to answer the call and return to the path of the basic principles outlined in the Bible, and the values that made this country great.

Why we were attacked on Sept. 11
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, 19 men murdered nearly 3,000 of our fellow Americans. They slammed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania after heroes on Flight 93 refused to let the fourth plane reach its target. So why were we attacked?
