Representative Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) reported that he was involved in an aviation incident on Saturday evening while attempting to land his aircraft. According to Tiffany, the plane experienced a loss of power as he was approaching the Wausau Downtown Airport. The situation necessitated an emergency landing in a nearby lake.

Following the event, Tiffany took to the social media platform X to confirm his status, stating that he had sustained only minor injuries. The congressman was in the process of returning home at the time of the incident. While the report confirms the nature of the landing and the resulting physical condition of the representative, it does not detail the specific mechanical cause of the power loss or the current status of the aircraft recovery efforts. The incident occurred as Tiffany continues his political activities, including his campaign for governor of Wisconsin. No other passengers were reported to be on board, and no further injuries to others were mentioned in the initial reports.
