The top congressional leader is bringing the mother and fiancée of Marc Tyler Brock to Trump's primetime address, Fox News Digital learned on Monday.
"It is my profound honor to host Shirley Brock-Dennis and Kambreigh Smith - the respective mother and fiancée of Vivian Police Officer Marc Brock - as my guests for the State of the Union address. In November, Officer Brock was tragically killed in the line of duty," Johnson told Fox News Digital.
"I am grateful that Shirley and Kambreigh will join us and help share Officer Brock's story with the nation," Johnson said.
Vivian is located in Louisiana's 4th congressional district, which Johnson represents.
The House speaker will be front-and-center when millions of Americans tune in to Trump's State of the Union speech, his second address to a joint session of Congress since returning to the White House last year.
He and the vice president will both be sitting behind Trump as he speaks to Americans and assembled officials about what he has done so far and what he has left to do in his final term.
Brock was part of a six-person team serving a warrant in November 2025 when he was shot through a closed door and was later declared dead at the hospital.
Johnson himself has ties to public safety officers, his late father having been a firefighter in Shreveport, La.
