We, the authors of this site, are a group of Fruitvale residents and merchants that have been lied to, stolen from, extorted, threatened and/or cheated by Mario Juarez. We may individually have our own different opinions about who should be council person for District 5 of Oakland, but there is one thing we all agree on: It SHOULD NOT be Mario Juarez.

Everyone in the real estate industry in Oakland knows that Mario R. Juarez is “shady”. Everyone on International Boulevard, where some of us do business, know he is corrupt. It may seem absurd to you, but we know if our identity is known, Mario will try to retaliate against us. From his days as a collections agent, he has the ability to dig up our personal credit information and manipulate it. Some people who have angered him have had their personal property (cars for example) damaged. He has threatened many of us. He likes to say pompous, threatening things like “You know I can cause you a lot of damage”, or “When I’m councilmember, I’ll get back at you”, or “You know, I can bury you”. These are all real quotes that various of us have heard from Mario. In talking with each other, we’ve learned he throws them around pretty freely.

This website is information YOU, the voters, need to know, so you can make an informed decision in the upcoming election. We list sources of information where any of you can do your own investigation. Once you’ve verified our facts, we ask that you send this to your family, friends, neighbors or neighborhood email lists so others may also get to know the other side of Mario Juarez.
