Frenchko website seeks to ‘expose everything’

Seeking to capitalize on the reaction to nude photos she’s posted on Facebook, though nothing inappropriate is shown, Niki Frenchko, a congressional candidate challenging U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce in the Republican primary, is launching a website promising to “expose everything.”

OnlyFrenchko.com seeks to draw attention to Frenchko as if she has an account on OnlyFans, primarily known for its adult content.

Asked Friday if she will have nude photos on the website, which is supposed to go live today, Frenchko said: “You’ll have to subscribe to see.”

It is extremely unlikely Frenchko will be nude on the website.

Frenchko, a former Trumbull County commissioner who lost a reelection bid in 2024, said the website is “connected to the (congressional) campaign to raise money and awareness” about me. “People will see everything exposed. That’s all I’m saying.”

There will be a paywall on the website to raise money for her campaign.

Frenchko, of Warren, is unable to compete financially against Joyce of Bainbridge, whose campaign fund had a $3,260,984.56 surplus to start this year.

The website will almost certainly target Joyce, who is seeking his eighth two-year term in the U.S. House representing the 14th Congressional District.

The website’s homepage will have screenshots of Frenchko’s nude photos with the website’s name and “everything exposed” strategically covering her. Frenchko said the photos were taken during visits to St. Martin in the French West Indies.

In a Dec. 8 Facebook post, Frenchko had a photo of herself and two others from the Mahoning Valley on a “naked beach.” While Frenchko isn’t wearing clothes, the photo doesn’t show any nudity, which would violate Facebook’s terms and policies.

In a video promoting her website, Frenchko plays a clip of Trumbull County Commissioner Denny Malloy on a local webcast saying that when she filed against Joyce he got “a text from the congressman saying, ‘Looks like I won the naked Niki contest.'”

Frenchko also took out nominating petitions to challenge Malloy as well as for county auditor and a state House seat.

In her video, Frenchko said some have “accused me of having an OnlyFans account. I figured I might as well expose everything so I’ll be doing my own OF page. Check back soon and subscribe.”

Asked to comment on Frenchko’s website, a Joyce campaign spokesman instead said, “Congressman Joyce is honored to be endorsed by President (Donald) Trump because he voted with the president 97% of the time and fights every day to advance the America First agenda.”

Joyce is using Trump’s endorsement in campaign ads.

With redistricting taking effect with this election, the 14th Congressional District will continue to include all of Trumbull, Lake, Ashtabula and Geauga counties. It is adding a small part of Mahoning County and making a minor change to a part of Portage County it includes.

The district favors Republicans 58.5% to 41.5% for Democrats based on partisan statewide voting results between 2016 to 2024, according to the Ohio Redistricting Commission.

Three Democrats are running in that party’s May 5 primary. They are Bill O’Neill of Chagrin Falls, a former Ohio Supreme Court justice and 11th District Court of Appeals judge who has twice lost elections for the 14th Congressional District; Carl Setzer of Moreland Hills, a restaurant owner; and Maria Jukic, a former Euclid City Council member who tried to run in 2024 for the congressional seat as an independent, but failed to get enough valid signatures to qualify.
