When Name Recognition Goes Awry

Sometimes, a name can be more curse than blessing. Just ask Geoffrey Epstein.

This Geoffrey Epstein, running for mayor in Framingham, Massachusetts, is not to be confused with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose infamous legacy is currently back in the spotlight as the Republican Party grapples with the fallout from his past. The similarity in names has drawn its fair share of bemused reactions online, with some users humorously urging him to “show us the list.”

A Redditor recently posed the question, “Is this guy for real?” alongside a photo of Epstein’s campaign mailer. Yet, the responses were far from dismissive, with one commenter vouching for him: “He’s got good ideas about the city’s finances.”

Geoffrey, who prefers to be called Geoff, insists that the name confusion isn’t an issue locally, where his reputation from his years of service in public schools precedes him. “No one locally cares about that at all,” he stated. With a background as a former theoretical physics professor hailing from Australia, he offers a stark contrast to his namesake—“He’s a dead American, and I’m an alive Australian,” he quipped.

Geoff Epstein, who has served on school committees in Newton and Framingham—both suburbs of Boston—has entered the mayoral race to address what he perceives as pressing challenges in the city. His campaign platform emphasizes education, infrastructure, and environmental initiatives, proposing solutions such as expanding solar panels on school rooftops and reallocating more budgetary resources towards education.

However, he faces an uphill battle against the incumbent Mayor Charlie Sisitsky, who boasts a significant financial advantage with over $61,000 in campaign funds compared to Epstein’s modest $5,000.

Yet, as history teaches us, a challenging name does not necessarily doom a campaign. Take Harvey Epstein, a New York state assembly member whose name, as comedian John Mulaney pointed out in a satirical campaign ad, inadvertently recalls the city’s infamous sexual scandals. Remarkably, Harvey recently triumphed in the Democratic primary for a New York City Council seat, effectively blocking the political resurgence of former Rep. Anthony Weiner—another figure with a scandalous reputation.

Harvey’s advice for Geoffrey is straightforward: “Lead with your values and who you are as a candidate. People will support you if you do the work and follow through,” he shared during a phone conversation.
