In an interview with The American Interest, Gallagher was very critical of the Obama administration's subsequent drawdown of United States troops from Iraq, because:

"... all the predictions we made at the time about creating a vacuum and how dangerous that was proved to be true. And I think the broader regional policy in the Obama Administration of seeking accommodation with the Iranian regime in the hopes that this would produce what the President referred to as a new equilibrium in the region produced exactly the opposite: disequilibrium.

In 2018, Gallagher argued that power in the House of Representatives was too concentrated in the leadership; he proposed allowing committee members to choose their own chairs and ranking members, rather than having these positions be selected by the parties' steering committees. This proposal was rejected in a House Republican vote. Gallagher also argued for consolidating the appropriating and authorizing House committees and a reform of the House calendar that would have the chamber sit "at least five days a week for three consecutive weeks, then spend a full week back in their districts" (a change from the current congressional practice of very short legislative workweeks and frequent long weekends allowing members more time in their districts).Craig Gilbert, [https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/16/congress-much-worse-than-you-think-says-gop-lawmaker-green-bay/2011741002 Mike Gallagher, GOP freshman from Green Bay, says Congress is toothless, dysfunctional] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117002434/https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/16/congress-much-worse-than-you-think-says-gop-lawmaker-green-bay/2011741002 |date=January 17, 2021 }}, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (November 16, 2018).
