WAUSAU, WI – The Tiffany for Wisconsin campaign released the following update Sunday morning after Saturday night’s emergency water landing in Lake Wausau:

“Tom wants to thank everyone across Wisconsin and around the country who has reached out with prayers and kind words. He and his family deeply appreciate the outpouring of support they have received.

“Tom suffered a laceration above his right eye that required stitches and was released from the hospital last night. The pilot was also released. Tom and his family thank God that neither suffered more serious injuries and are grateful for the exceptional care he received at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

“Tom also wants to again thank the pilot, the Wausau Fire Department, law enforcement, first responders, and everyone who helped get them safely off the water. He will address the media later today in Wausau.”

Congressman Tiffany and the pilot were the only two people on board the Beechcraft K35. The investigation into the loss of power will be handled by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board.
