Frederick Ray Meyer, known as Fred Meyer (December 20, 1927 – September 24, 2012), was a businessman from Dallas, Texas, who was the state chairman of the Republican Party of Texas from 1988 to 1994. He worked in the campaigns of George Herbert Walker Bush, George W. Bush, Phil Gramm, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Rick Perry, and Jeb Hensarling.
Meyer was born in Deerfield in Lake County in northeastern Illinois. His Republican family opposed Franklin D. Roosevelt and joked that the New Deal agency, the Works Progress Administration, or WPA, means, "We Pay Always." In 1934, the six-year-old Meyer passed out cards for his father, who ran for a school board seat in suburban Chicago. Meyer served in the United States Army and graduated in 1949 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
