Former Physics Professor Geoffrey Epstein Runs for Framingham Mayor
Geoffrey Epstein, an Australian-born former theoretical physics professor and former member of the Framingham School Committee, is running for mayor of Framingham, Massachusetts. Despite sharing a name with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, Geoffrey says the association has not been a major issue among locals familiar with his work, though online commenters sometimes ask him to 'show us the list' referencing Jeffrey Epstein's scandals. Geoffrey's campaign focuses on education, infrastructure, and environmental initiatives, including expanding solar installations and reallocating more of the city budget toward schools. He faces a challenging race against incumbent Mayor Charlie Sisitsky, who has a significantly larger campaign fund. Geoffrey Epstein is advised to lead with his values and actions, following the example of New York state assemblyman Harvey Epstein, who has similarly contended with name recognition challenges tied to infamous namesakes. The race highlights how a difficult name can impact but not necessarily derail a political campaign.
