In the Senate, Boehm has been a strong advocate for carbon sequestration and has led the Project Tundra. He has also sponsored several bills during his tenure.

In April 2023, Boehm argued in support of House Bill 1254, which looked to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors and impose felony charges on doctors who perform sex assignment surgeries. He referred to gender-affirming care as “child mutilation” and falsely claimed that puberty blockers permanently sterilize children.

Despite the controversies, Boehm continues to serve his constituents and strives to make a difference in the North Dakota Senate.
