ORANGE COUNTY, FL (WESH/NBC) – A former football player and homecoming king is running for office as a woman.
Gina Duncan, 56, filed paper-work to run for Florida’s Orange County Commission earlier this week.
Duncan says being a transgender woman is a part of who she is.
“It’s been a challenge and a very interesting life journey,” Duncan said.
Duncan spent 50 of her years as Gregory Pingston, once known as a star linebacker in Merritt Island, then a husband.
“I was married for 25 years,” Duncan said.
Gregory fathered a son and a daughter before telling his family in 2006 that he was going to undergo surgery to become a woman.
