Rep. Tom Tiffany says he swam to safety after emergency plane landing

Rep. Tom Tiffany, the Republican nominee for governor in Wisconsin, said he swam to land and suffered minor injuries after a plane made an emergency landing in a lake Saturday.

As he headed home from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner in Onalaska, Wisconsin, the plane in which Tiffany was traveling lost power as it approached the Wausau Downtown Airport, he said. The pilot made an emergency water landing in nearby Lake Wausau.
