KENDALL QUALLS

Kendall Qualls

Project 21 Ambassador Kendall Qualls is the founder and president of the nonprofit foundation TakeCharge, which strives to unite Americans regardless of background toward a shared history and common set of beliefs, asserting that the promise of America is available to everyone regardless of race or social standing.

Kendall has a unique vantage point to convey that message, and to plant the seeds of change desperately needed. Kendall was raised in poverty in a broken home. He worked full-time to pay for college, served as an officer in the U.S. Army and later earned three graduate degrees. He worked his way up the ranks at several Fortune 100 healthcare companies before he became Global Vice President of Sales and Marketing at an $850M business unit.

Kendall has been married to his wife Sheila for 39 years and they have five children together. He serves on the Board of Hope Farm School, a school for at-risk boys from Minneapolis. He is also on the President’s Advisory Board of the Heritage Foundation and the Advisory Board for the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership.

Kendall’s message has reached millions of people as a speaker and as a guest on media programs such as the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and “Fox & Friends,” and the Dennis Prager Show. His articles have been published in the New York Post, Washington Examiner, The Washington Times, The Federalist, Real Clear Politics, The Christian Post, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Kendall was a Republican candidate for Governor of Minnesota in the 2022 election cycle. He recently authored a book, “The Prodigal Project: Hope for American Families.”
