You are running for office, there is an allegation of fraud in your position as mayor and there is an allegation of corruption in the city that you were mayor of. Responding that you don't "wrestle with pigs" because you will get dirty is pathetic. At the very least come out and say "not guilty". If you want, spice it up a little and say "fake news" you could even go so far as to call the media pushing this narrative "the enemy".
It is a valid question to ask anyone running for office and should be responded to in a way that clearly and emphatically denies wrong doing.
"My grandmother told me not to wrestle with pigs" is a deflection and indicates deceit.
