LeRoy E. Myers Jr. (born October 8, 1951) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Maryland.
Myers was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2003 representing District 1C, which covers Allegany and Washington counties. He defeated long-time delegate and Speaker of the House, Casper R. Taylor. Taylor had been a staunch proponent to bring slot machines into Maryland, but despite his defeat by Myers, the passage of slot machines prevailed with the 2008 referendum. In 2006, Myers defeated Brian Grim.
Myers attended Hagerstown Community College.
Myers served in U.S. Army Reserves from 1970–76. He is the owner of a General Contracting Company in Western Maryland, MYERS BUILDING SYSTEMS. Myers formed Myers Building Systems in 1985 after working for over 15 years with his father's company, LeRoy Myers, Inc. such as Staples and FedEx.
During his career in Annapolis, Myers was known for his attentiveness to his constituency.
