Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), a Wisconsin congressman and gubernatorial candidate, recounts surviving an emergency landing after his plane makes an emergency landing on a lake. Tiffany says he is “really fortunate” to have gotten through the incident and publicly thanks first responders, including local fire department personnel, who helped after the landing.

Multiple outlets report that Tiffany’s comments include a personal account of the ordeal, delivered with emotion. Courthouse News describes him as tearfully recounting his experience, while The Hill focuses on his remarks that he believes divine protection played a role. The reporting also places attention on the immediate response by first responders following the emergency landing, rather than on any broader political or investigative developments.
