2014
Ford's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[18]
- Improving education
- Excerpt: "Education is the key to future success and a strong economy. We must work to expand educational opportunities for all students in Illinois and throughout the nation. The future of our country depends on the education we provide to our children today, and we must invest in them."
- Improving health
- Excerpt: "The health and wellness of the American people reflects the health of our nation, physically but also financially. Health care costs are increasing at a rate that is making it hard for families and businesses to keep up. And it’s getting in the way of our ability to compete as a nation in an increasingly global economy. Prescription drug costs and insurance premiums are squeezing families and leaving more Americans without adequate health coverage. I am committed to improving the health of our country now and in the years to come."
- Preventing foreclosures
- Improving community life
- Excerpt: "Strong neighborhoods foster strong families, strong businesses, and strong individuals."
- Veterans support
- Building cross-cultural bridges
- Citizenship

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Noteworthy events
Bank fraud charges
On Thursday, November 29, 2012, Ford was indicted by a federal grand jury on seventeen counts, comprised of eight counts of bank fraud and nine counts of providing the bank with false information. Ford allegedly claimed to banks that he was taking loans out for his company, Ford Desired Real Estate, Inc., and for his own real estate investments, but then used the money for other purposes, including credit card payments and campaign-related expenses. Ford also allegedly submitted false tax returns for inspection by a bank that inflated his income, allowing him to qualify for a credit-line extension and about $500,000 more in loans. If Ford was convicted, each count had a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. A trial date was set for April 22, 2014.[21][22][23]
On August 4, 2014, Ford pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor tax count in exchange for prosecutors dropping the 17 felony charges against him. The dropped felony charges meant Ford was not forced to resign his seat.[24] On November 7, he was sentenced to six months' probation and 100 hours of community service.[25]
