With nearly three weeks left before election day, Measure 92, Oregon’s mandatory GMO-labeling measure, is just a few major contributions away from becoming the costliest ballot measure in state history.

The donation brings Monsanto’s total contributions to just over $4 million.
The Yes on 92 campaign, meanwhile, reports raising $5.4 million in support of the measure. Combined spending for Measure 92 stands at $15.1 million.
