Born in Bayfield, Wisconsin,[1][2] Meyers received her bachelor's degree in sociology from Northland College in December 1989.

[8] Meyers supports strong regulation of pollution to protect clean running water,[9] particularly as applied to mining; for this reason she opposed the development of an iron mine in the Penokee Hills of Iron County, Wisconsin, in 2014.
[10] In 2016, after the previous year's legislative session on the budget lasted 12 hours, extending into the early morning of the day after it began, Meyers proposed a bill which would require votes on the budget to happen during "normal waking hours", so that citizens would be able to observe the debates and votes.
