Fred Meyer (Texas politician)
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.
==Background==
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.
A diversified businessman, Meyer sat on the boards of eighteen businesses and non-tax paying institutions, including five companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He was a chief operating officer of three firms and the chairman of the board of two others.〔 He was treasurer of Aladdin Industries in Nashville, Tennessee, and then a senior vice president and then from 1983 to 1986 president of the Tyler Corporation in Dallas.〔
Meyer was involved in many avocations too: downhill skiing, marathons, professional race car driving, from the ages of sixty-three to seventy-five, mountain climbing, and a three-mile daily run. He exceeded 35,000 miles in his lifetime.〔 He was also until the end of his life a fundraiser for the Cooper Institute and Clinic in Dallas.〔
