Campaign website
Logan's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Affordability The cost of everything from a gallon of gas to food, childcare and healthcare is rising due to inflation, taxes and one-size-fits-all policies that are breaking the backs of our workers, families, and small businesses. Simply put, a dollar doesn’t go as far as it should. As a state lawmaker, George fought to make Connecticut more affordable, and he’ll stand up to the status quo that is making it harder every day for working people in Connecticut to make ends meet.
We don’t need to grow government. We need to grow a healthy economy and that starts from the bottom-up by letting workers, families, and job creators decide how to spend their hard-earned money, not politicians in Washington. George has a strong record of solving Connecticut’s fiscal problems. In the State Senate, George worked across party lines to restore fiscal stability in Connecticut, ushering in a true cap on spending, and borrowing and reforms that put $4.5 billion in our state’s rainy-day fund for the first time in decades.
While small businesses continue to struggle, Congress continues to pass partisan bills that check Washington D.C.’s priorities but miss the rest of America. He runs a small business, and as a State Senator, he fought against policies that don’t work for us. Job-killing policies that have crushed small businesses are making it harder for our economy to recover. We need to support our small businesses by getting politicians out of the way and doing whatever we can to train the workforce with the skills they need to succeed.
George’s parents set him on a path to be the first in his family to graduate from college and allowed him to go on to find a job as an engineer and eventually earn his master’s degree in mechanical engineering. He is living the American dream because his parents found a school that fit his needs. George Logan believes every parent should be able to find a school and a curriculum that works for their family. A one-size-fits all approach to education that puts special interests ahead of students and teachers is failing our communities and our kids.
The status quo isn’t working for the people of Connecticut and it’s certainly not working in Washington, D.C., either. It’s time for someone different to tackle the problems we face and provide diversity of ideas, solutions and life experiences that break the mold with radical sensibility over radical partisanship. George was a fighter in the State Senate and he’s ready to continue the battle in D.C. by putting an end to power grabs by out-of-touch politicians.[4] |

2016
Logan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[6]
| “ |
We need to create a business friendly environment. Payroll taxes, healthcare requirements and other State mandates make us uncompetitive. These economic burdens have to be lifted.
Of course, the best way to fix many budget challenges at the state level is to have a healthy economy. More tax revenue comes from an environment that creates more taxpayers, as opposed to the current philosophy of extracting more taxes from those of us still here.
Priorities in Hartford need to be reset. Healthcare and education cuts damage our future. A healthy population is a productive population.[4] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
