The problem is that it's the committee chairman's job to find candidates. He has a job to do, and it's unacceptable for him to say "I couldn't find
candidates."

When I worked at the gas station, my boss tasked me with selling paper shamrocks for st jude's hospital. "I couldn't sell any" was not an acceptable answer.

I know people who are more qualified than me who could have ran for these vacancies. I even gave Benji a referral to a friend of mine who is a retired town justice, but he never replied to my email (instead he put me on his mass-email list, like a jerk.)
