Python scope using Pygame

I am a bit confused why when my redraw_game_window() function is called the right variable isn't being carried over properly and its returning False when I press my right arrow key. Under, if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]: it is returning True however. Do I need to call my redraw_game_window higher in the code. I figured it needs to be the last thing in the code. I left out the beginning of the code for easier reading.

So it is in fact activating when I press the right arrow key but not carried over even though I'm providing the global flag. What is happening here?

    moving_x = 100
    moving_y = 350

    jump = False

    left = False
    right = False
    walkCount = 10
    
    # Christmas Background scaled to fit the size of the full display
    
    christmas = pygame.image.load('winter.jpg')
    christmas = pygame.transform.scale(christmas, (650, 600))
    
    
    def redraw_game_window():
        global right
        screen.blit(christmas, (0, 0))
        print(right)
