Last week I was told by Tiffany's team that I wouldn't be let into events if I wasn't a fair reporter.
Earlier this week, Tiffany said all reporters would be let into his events, even me, when he was asked about Trump's ban on TV stations.
Now they're blocking my colleague.

Update: @TomTiffanyWI suffered a laceration above his right eye that required stitches and was released from the hospital last night, his campaign says.

The FAA said a Beechcraft K35 crashed into Lake Wausau around 8:50 p.m. last night w/ 2 people on board. It will investigate.

I’m grateful to God that Congressman Tiffany and no one else was hurt in this horrifying incident, which could have been a tragedy if not for the heroism of the pilot.

I wish them and the Congressman a quick recovery and that they can find solace with their loved ones.

[Tom Tiffany @TomTiffanyWI]

While returning home from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner tonight, the plane I was traveling in lost power as we approached the Wausau Downtown Airport. The pilot made an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau.

After landing, we called 911. As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the pilot, the Wausau Fire Department, and all of the first responders who came to our aid so quickly. They got us safely off the water and transported us to Aspirus Wausau Hospital, where we received excellent care. Thankfully, both the pilot and I sustained only minor injuries.

God was watching over us tonight, and I am incredibly grateful to be here in the hospital with my wife, Chris, by my side. An experience like this reminds you just how precious life is.

Wisconsin is one of 12 states without a 9/11 teaching expectation or suggestion, per the @AP. On the 25th anniversary, @TomTiffanyWI proposes requiring schools to teach about 9/11.

Hong announces her endorsement for Crowley:

[Francesca Hong @FrancescaHongWI]

The last 11 months have been one of the greatest joys of my life. Traveling the state, meeting people in churches and dive bars and bike races and dance parties and in their homes, and hearing about what matters most to them informed every decision we made on the trail. It will continue to inform the work we do— and ask our supporters to do— moving forward. 

This campaign was not about getting one person into office. It is about building a movement for permanent affordability and a government that puts working people first. Our movement is strong, and the work isn't done. I am overwhelmingly proud of our team and the work they have done to achieve that goal. 

Congratulations to David Crowley and his team. I fully support him and look forward to working with him to defeat Congressman Tiffany in November.

[Tony Evers @Tony4WI]

Tonight's all about @DavidCCrowley. He's earned this win and the accolades.

I am so proud of David—he's the future of our Party, and I can't wait for him to be our next governor.

For now, we polka. Tomorrow, we're back at work to win.

@TomTiffanyWI, we'll see you in November.

UPDATE: There will be a very long delay to the Milwaukee upload. Five of the USB sticks were missing results from the election.

Election officials have to go back to the absentee facility to get the results again.
