Logue organized the Economic Recovery Group, which meets regularly with business representatives from all sectors of California's economy to discuss ways to eliminate impediments and restrictive government regulations in order to improve our state's business climate. He had conducted public hearings to listen to the concerns of business owners. He held the first out-of-state hearing when he took fellow legislators to Reno, Nevada, to hear from businesses their reasons for leaving California.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ny-leg.com/directory/press/CA/assemblyman-logue-to-head-republican-task-force/15378/|title=Login}}</ref> The National Federation of Independent Business awarded Logue a perfect score based on his voting record and support of small business.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ny-leg.com/directory/press/CA/assemblyman-dan-logue-receives-one-hundred-percent-on-voting-record/5993|title=Login}}</ref> When Texas Governor Rick Perry came to California to try to lure jobs, Logue said, "Governor Perry's message was clear to the entire delegation when he said: 'You can not be for jobs and against business – it just doesn't work.'

In the 2012 Election, Logue's Republican opponent, Bob Williams, sent out a news release alleging the Marysville address Logue declared as his home was the same as "Dirty Blondes Cleaning Service," a Yuba County cleaning company. Williams, a Tehama County supervisor, included in the news release a link to a website that showed the cleaning service's address was the same as the one Logue registered with the Yuba County Elections Office. The Yuba County Assessor's Office clarified the Marysville property was owned by a Walnut Grove couple and not by Dan Logue.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.redding.com/news/2012/mar/20/dirty-blondes-becomes-distraction/ |title=Jim Nielsen's supporter Bob Williams levels carpetbagger charges against Dan Logue in Assembly race » Redding Record Searchlight |access-date=2013-04-22 |archive-date=2013-05-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130501033323/http://www.redding.com/news/2012/mar/20/dirty-blondes-becomes-distraction/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> During that same time, Logue changed his Facebook page to reflect his home being in Chico, California.
