The former adult movie star is running for a seat in the French parliament to help the homeless and protect animals.
Actress Esther Kooiman, who was known in the porn industry as Zara Whites, is running in the French parliamentary election, representing the Independent Ecological Alliance (Alliance écologiste indépendante). She was a porn actress and posed for Playboy and Penthouse in the 1990s, when she was in her early 20s.
Esther, 48, retired from the porn business long ago. She says she is not ashamed of her past. The actress is a vegetarian and animal rights activist with two children. As an ecological party candidate, she stresses she is going to focus on animal protection. If elected, she will also deal with problems of the homeless and struggle with poverty.
“I want to fight poor living conditions and poverty, but I also want to encourage people to turn attention to animal suffering,” Esther Kooiman, who has been working in these areas since she retired from the adult movie industry, shares her political plans.
The parliamentary election in France will be held on June 11. The second round is scheduled for a week later, June 18.
