Rob Ford to Run for Office Again: Toronto Mayor First in Line to Register on City Hall Ballot, Promises 'Action Like You've Never Seen Before' (VIDEO)

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was first in line Thursday morning to register on a City Hall ballot to run for another term in office.

After a number of months of heavy media attention, sexual commentary that left reporters literally speechless, admitting to smoking crack "in a drunken stupor," vows to quit drinking, pushing over a councilor and more, Ford made it clear he had no intentions to leave the political realm, as he signed up for the city's municipal election, Oct. 27.

Ford, who called himself the "best mayor," of the city ever, swore that he'd win "Ford more years," according to the Toronto Star.

"If you want to get personal, that's fine," the Star reported Ford as telling members of the press assembled at City Hall. "I'm sticking to my record, and talk is cheap. You're going to see action like you've never seen before."

Ford posted a photo of himself on Twitter, with the caption, "Just filed my paperwork for the 2014 election. Vote on October 27th."

Ford closed out 2013 in shaky silence - after video of him pacing around a room yelling about murdering someone and revelations surfaced of past drug use, the embattled politician tried to lay low to temper the flood of mockery, parody videos and negative attention from the public.

The Toronto City Council stripped Ford of nearly all his powers in office in November, rendering him merely mayor by title, after a video of him reportedly smoking from a crack pipe emerged online. Ford first denied the video's validity, then later admitted to doing drugs "at least once" in his life.

While councilors weighed whether to remove Ford, who became problematic for the office's image as he continued speaking and acting controversially, the Toronto mayor became progressively more adamant about his presence in office.

"I have no other options but to challenge this in court," he said during a hearing concerning his potential firing. "This [motion] will be precedent-setting and if we move ahead with this, then obviously if someone else steps out of line like I have, it is going to affect councilors and the mayor, I think, for years to come. So obviously I cannot support this."
