One day before Houston voters head to the polls to vote on an LGBT-inclusive comprehensive non-discrimination ordinance, both sides are ramping up their game ahead of what’s now expected to be a close vote.

The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), which will go before voters on Tuesday as Proposition 1, would prohibit anti-LGBT discrimination — as well as bias against other groups of people — in the nation’s fourth largest city. The covered areas would be employment, services, contracting practices, housing and public accommodations.

Sean Theriault, who’s gay and a political scientist at University of Texas, Austin, said the landscape in Houston has changed rapidly in the aftermath of TV advertisements stoking fears about the measure allowing transgender people to use the bathroom consistent with their gender identity.

“Two weeks ago, I thought it was in the bag for our side,” Theriault said. “But, I must confess I’m a bit more nervous today. Turnout appears to be up in some conservative areas and the evil forces appear to be all over the media.”

Theriault’s assessment is consistent with the views of other political observers in Texas who say the race is tightening despite polls earlier this month showing a substantial lead in support for HERO.

On Saturday, the Human Rights Campaign announced in a blog post the organization has sent more than 30 staffers to Houston. The organization says the effort is now the largest mobilization of staff for a campaign in the LGBT group’s history.

Trevor Chandler, HRC’s associate regional field director, said in the blog post staffers are going door-to-door and making phone calls in a final wave of get-out-the-vote efforts.

“With only a few days to go this fight is going to go down to the wire,” Chandler said. “HRC staff are activating our members and recruiting volunteers to make that happen.”

In a Sunday blog post, the LGBT group Freedom of All Americans said it has sent nearly its entire staff to Houston this week to work on the get-out-the-vote efforts.

Following a wave of anti-trans TV ads, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott encouraged Houston residents on his personal Twitter account to reject HERO based on discredited assertions the measure would allow unlawful conduct in public restrooms.

Supporters of HERO say misconduct in restrooms would still be punishable under the law in the event the ordinance is approved.

On other side, President Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden have expressed support for HERO through the White House. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernard Sanders and Martin O’Malley have also expressed support for the measure. Secretary of Housing & Urban Development Julian Castro also supports HERO.

The Faith Family Freedom Fund, a super fund affiliated with the anti-LGBT Family Research Council, issued an email blast drawing attention to Clinton’s endorsement of HERO and seeking to raise funds for the opposite purpose.

“Hillary’s public support tells us that she recognizes the national significance a win or loss on this vote would have,” it says. “The Faith Family Freedom Fund is doubling-down on our efforts to make sure Houston voters are given all the facts as they vote on this and we’re asking for your support.”

By way of fundraising emails from HRC, celebrities who’ve expressed support for HERO include the first openly gay NFL draft pick Michael Sam, actress Sally Field, gay actor Matt Bomer and gay actor Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory.”

Theriault cautioned, however, that celebrity endorsements may not have a positive impact on HERO.

“Frankly, I’m not sure how helpful it is to have all the L.A. celebrities come to town,” Theriault said. “Probably good for fundraising, but not necessarily good for appealing to the undecided voter.”

Other endorsements HRC has touted include local faith leaders who spoke Monday at Houston’s Grace Lutheran Church as well as leaders from the local chapter of the NAACP.

Polls are open in Houston on Tuesday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central Time.
