Montgomery stated the following regarding his campaign on his website:

“	All of us are concerned about our children’s future. Are they eating right? What are they learning in school? Who is that on the phone? Have I saved enough for college? Will they happy in their chosen field? Will I be a burden to them in their old age? Perhaps the most worrisome thing of all is when we have to trust someone else to care for our precious children and make decisions for them on our behalf. Fortunately, John Montgomery is a man we can trust to help us secure the future of our children. John can bring a unique combination of professional experience, perspective, and preparation to the role of Trustee. Students can be assured that John, as the leader of a diverse, global, technically sophisticated team, understands the skills and experiences that will be required to succeed in the world where they will build their own lives and livelihoods. Teachers and Staff can rely on John’s perspective as the spouse of a lifelong educator to make him an effective advocate for the resources they need to meet the ever increasing challenges they face. Parents can trust John to understand the challenges of parenting in the modern world and to seek ways of partnering with them ever more effectively for the benefit of their children. Taxpayers can look to John’s business leadership experience to ensure that resources are focused on the classroom, the district remains financially solid, and monies not required for efficient and effective operations are returned to them. John has looked at this opportunity for over a decade, has skills and experience in working with youth to positively impact their future, and has been faithful in attending school board meetings and workshops in order to meet the challenges that lie ahead.	”
