Protect women and children with stronger safeguards against violence.

Advance equity and fairness across every community.

Too often, justice slips away when survivors face courts and law enforcement unprepared to understand the cultures and communities they serve.
Source: www.janavisharma2026.com
I will work to advance deeper, survivor-centered, culturally informed training across law enforcement and the courts - because every survivor deserves justice that is real, not deferred.

It is about protection.

It is about building a California for its people, where justice is delivered, dignity is honored, and no one is left unseen.

Mandatory Accountability : No agency or leader that hides abuse will escape investigation.

Together we can protect survivors, demand accountability, and build a California where justice is not delayed or denied.

Education
Issue Position
Life placed barriers in my path - family expectations once denied me the chance to pursue higher education - but I refused to remain voiceless.

Family and Children
Issue Position
The greatest harm falls on children - when law enforcement, courts, and Child Protective Services look away, when families, schools, churches, and shelters bury the truth.

Today, I am completing my Cybersecurity Analyst certification and studying law so I can fight for women and children who have survived sexual assault and violence.

Establish oversight to ensure shelters keep their promises.
I will press for the creation of an independent oversight and regulatory agency to strengthen accountability and restore dignity for those experiencing homelessness.
Homelessness
Issue Position
I stand for leadership grounded in equity, accountability, and protection.

For example, Lodi Access Center surpasses expectations in every way - setting the highest example of how to serve the unhoused with dignity, structure, and care.

Alongside Lodi House and Family Promise with Love Lodi and Agape Love, which also honor their commitments, LAC stands as a role model for how shelters can uplift both individuals and the wider community.

My goal is clear: to ensure every shelter in California rise to this level.

This campaign isn't charity - it is a fight for dignity, safety, and justice for every community.

I came to the United States from Punjab, India in 1993 at the age of 13 after my visa was approved by U.S. immigration.

Their path in public life shaped my understanding that leadership is not about privilege but about responsibility to community.
